Serepdipity and subdomains

[audiodef]

I just installed Serendipity on my hosting account. It works fine as audiodef.com/blog but not as blog.audiodef.com. I changed the .htaccess file so the index is now index.php instead of /blog/index.php, but the templates don't show up around the content when I use the subdomain url. Can someone tell me how to fix this?

Hi!

Yes, serendipity can only properly work when the path names are the same on every access variant.

You can run s9y on http://subdomain.domain.com/blog/ and blog.domain.com/blog/ but not blog.com.com and domain.com/blog.

To do so would require you to add some manual URL rewrite rules which might possibly break things. Reason is that your blog entries and other plugins may reference always to /blog/ or /, and the other is not available depending on the domain host.

Thanks for explaining. I'm going to create a new top level subdir, create a php redirect to point to my blog dir, and redirect my blog subdomain to that.
