Setup CS1.1 on sub-domain
Reply Quote
I want my forum can be setup like  forum.webhost4life.com.

How should I do? I did following:

1. Install CS1.1 to my Root Folder as myRoot\CS\
2. Add sub-domain  forum.MyDomain.com to myRoot\CS\
3. Set IIS Application to forum.MyDomain.com

But when  I try to browser the forum, it won't go to forum directly.

Then I changed default.aspx and add top1 line to redirect to \forums\.

Yes, it will redirect to forum but the link will show like http://forum.MyDomain.com/forums.

How can I got the link just showing forum.MyDomain.com like forum.webhost4life.com?

Do I need a URL redirect?

Thanks.

Once you've setup your root folder you should be able to follow the directions at http://communityserver.org/forums/481537/ShowPost.aspx#481537 to setup the forums in the root of a sub or standard domain.

Let me know if you get this solved.

I'm trying to do a similar thing.

1. Install CS into subfolder of root (not in root as you did)
2. map subdomain community.mydomain.com to the subfolder
3. set subfolder as iis application (well, set the subdomain as an iis application according w4l's web interface)

and no luck at all so far.... see: http://community.mosquitocountry.com

Thanks.

I managed it manually.

1. create database (empty)
2. create folder
3. assign appropriate permissions to folder
4. create subdomain
5. set subdomain as application (ie root of subdomain)
6. execute required database scripts (in scripts folder of src distribution ...  also cs_system_AddNewUrl and then cs_system_CreateCommunity
7. uploaded the files for the private assembly into the folder I'd created earlier (with web.config modified for data access)
8. voila .. visit my new community using subdomain

Now for some testing.
:)

Thanks Alowe and Bric. After played with CS1.1 for weeks and readed most of the posts & docs from CS forum, I found CS had a very good structure.  Now  I can  install a single CS forum or multi-CS forums with shared/unshared members.

The key is /bin folder, web.config, moving files under /forum to root or root to /forum, site url mapping, application mapping. Blogs  and  Photos are the same.

Even CS let you to setup a multi-forum like free IPB.

Thanks for this great forum (open source). Hope it can be more polished later soon. Great work!
