[Debian-sf-users] DNS Configuration for debian-sf

[Seetal Patel]

Hello,

 

Pardon me for if this post is not relevant to this group. I am newbie to Sourceforge and would greatly appreciate some help with an issue I am having.

 

We currently have deployed  Sourceforge 2.5-33 on fresh install of Woody. The install itself went very smoothly, but I having some trouble getting my head around a DNS issue we having.

 

Every time a new project is registered on the site a new domain entry is created and our DNS server is hosted externally by our ISP, hence is there way to force Sourceforge to not create new DNS entries for new project. For example:

 

Our Source server name = sfserver.domainname.com

 

If we register a new project called "test1" then the fully qualified DNS name for the project homepage would be: test1.sfserver.domainname.com. Obviously this a bit inconvenient as every time a new project gets created we have to request our ISP to add the new entry to DNS hosts file.

 

Browsing through other Sourceforge deployments across the web, I see that most of them do not create a new DNS  entry per project but  instead append projectname as a directory on the server e.g. sfserver.domainname.com/test1 instead of test1.sfserver.domainname.com

 

I would like to know how to configure this.

 

Thanks in advance.
