Hey all, I hope this is a relitively simple question, but I have not been able to arrive at a workable solution for myself. What I''m wanting to do is a very simple pattern match on a subdomain: www.* forwards to mydomain.com/www_controller and everything else forwards to mydomain.com/other_controller The idea is to forward logged in users to username.mydomain.com, but all the user''s data is stored in a session, so, it doesn''t need to actually do any database lookups or anything like that based on the subdomain, only a routing request. Thanks in advance! -Luke -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

@ benjamin:
Thanks so much for the link. I''ve installed the plugin, but I cannot
seem to get it working (yes, I really am that dense).
I have two controllers, ''site'' and ''user''.
I would like all routs going
to ''www'' to go to the site controller, and everything else to
user,
however, I cannot get the pieces all glued together.
[code]
map.connect '''', :controller => ''site'',
:requirements => { :subdomain =>
''www'' }
[/code]
When I test that (at the top of my routes.rb file), I simply get:
Recognition failed for "/"
However, if I tack on the /site to the url (www.localhost:3000/site), I
get exactly what I would expect (the `index` method).
Any suggestions? I''ve poked around the net for some further
documentation for the plugin, but I haven''t really come across a whole
lot.

It might not be recognizing www as your subdomain because it''s not the third name. Thus thinking www is your domain and .local to be the equivalent to .com. Instead try putting in the host www.localhost.com to your hosts table and try that. On 6/21/06, Luke Wertz <lwertz@gmail.com> wrote:> @ benjamin: > > Thanks so much for the link.

I think it''s time I take a break from the computer for a while -- maybe my eyes will go un-crossed and I''ll be able to see straight again.
