Hi, I have a Site with Drupal 5.9 installed and have about 5 subdomains
installed in the ./sites folder like sub1.domain.com sub2.domain.com etc.
If I install your subdomain.module what will happen, can you give me some refer?

The Drupal installation is in a folder like ./domain
All subdomains run in a separate database with the same Drupal Installation.

Cheers

I assume you want to use subdomain.module to further divide your existing subdomains based on content within those subdomains

e.g. subdomain1.sub1.domain.com, subdomain2.sub1.domain.com, subdomain3.sub1.domain.com, subdomain-y.sub2.domain.com, et cetera...

I have not tried it, but you should be able to do it.

You'd need to set up wildcard domains for each of your existing subdomains (e.g. *.sub1.domain.com, *.sub2.domain.com, et cetera), and you would need to adjust the rewrite rules in the .htaccess patch to rewrite for your subdomains. (Contact your hosting provider to find out if this is possible).

Let me know how it goes and if you're able to get it working.

Hallo setvik, first thanks for your feedback. Sure I will report here my doings to you and the community. It will take a while, at the moment I'm busy on structure the existing Subdomains at http://www.adaccs.at that run on Drupal 5.9
but I'm intetioned to update everything on Drupal 6.3 using the Domain.module and the Subdomain.module , I do not know yet what advantages this will bring to the Site management, but of course I will first test everything on my Home LAN and see how it goes.

Cheers

As I promise as @Wolfflow(User) and now @David Naian(change due to personal decision) I report here that after 7 month I did finally succeed in put http://adaccs.at online again with the use of Drupal 5.X (Last version) and the Domain module.

The reason is just that for all planed layouts of the structure of this site I followed just my intuition of a newbie Drupal user and wished to use only the core module and really few contributed module that do not need the user to have to start studying PHP or have to relay on PHP competent people to solve the Site issues.

Of course I have now a lot of more knowledge about how Drupal works and how it's modular system works and I understand many aspect on how the different scripting like Js and CSS are embedded or to be precise parsed in the nodes, but I really hope that Drupal Core Maintainer are aware that there is such a confusion in the code that could be really made better.

Anyway the Domain Module is really the best contribution I had the fortune and also the luck of using it and implement after only one Local Test online. I relay on Drupal 5 because it's faster then Drupal 6 and it's not so PHP Memory hevvy as Drupal 6 and the View Module that is also a point I did not choose Drupal 6. Considerating that many newbies have Drupal Sites on shared hosting and a limited PHP memory permitted to use.

So on the above mentioned Site is some structure information and I will be happy baout your feedback by occasion.

Cheers
