Hi,

I've searched drupal.org and looked over all sections of the D7 documentation, including the advanced installation stuff, and haven't been able to find anything related to this. If this post is in the wrong section, please let me know.

I'm new to Drupal. Starting with v7. It's just been put on a LAMP server (CENT OS; recent versions of everything) as a multi-site installation. I'd like to set up some subdomains for scripts and media. Whatever I come up with would ideally be fairly straightforward for the non-technical content / media admin to deal with on a daily basis.

Is there a standard way of doing this through Drupal 7 that I can't find or should I be approaching this from the Apache end? If I set these up through Apache, should I anticipate any problems with, for instance, how Drupal modules handle media (or anything else I might not be able to predict being a Drupal newb)?

Thanks so much!
James

Check Sub Domain module and Domain Access module both on D7. Domain Access was really about the ability to share content across all subdomains selectively whereas SubDomain treats each subdomain as a silo and doesn't really give you easy access to content from elsewhere. At least that is my understanding - I use Domain Access here http://kitchenandculture.com which is currently under development.

Road Runner,

Thanks for your reply. I checked these out before posting and the readme.txt says it supports creating subdomains by organic groups and by nodes and authors. What I'm actually looking for is just a way for all images and video for a site to be divided between subdomains, e.g., media1.example.com; likewise with scripts. Very sorry if I wasn't clear on what I was looking for the first time around.

Thanks,
James

Why do you want to divide between subdomains?

If you want things to belong to specific subdomains so you can deliver them to the right site, that's actually, and more flexibly, a taxonomy issue.

See www.likal.com - all done with Domain Access.
