can multi forum be hosted like this?

[weblord]

i wish to host it on a subdomain and not a domain something like forums.mydomain.com can it be done? does it support subdomains? so my users will be given an address like http://forums.mysubdomain.com/user/ ?

[suresh]

it looks a big url and users unable to remember subdomains but if u ave short url then good for subdomain forums
i dont know whether they will host or not but i seen others are hosting subdomains too

[weblord]

yeah you have a point there, but i alrady got 34 domains im just testing this software. which one do you think i can host this?

Yes, you can install the script on a subdomain, but users won't get subdomains yet. I am currently working on implementing that.

When I try to install it on a subdomain I can't access the indexpage.

[weblord]

i think this script better installed on it's own domain for branding.

This is the error message I get:

Warning: include() [function.include]: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: No address associated with hostname in /home/blogvol/public_html/common.php on line 219

Warning: include(http://www.blog.mysite.com/nbs/no_forum_selected.html) [function.include]: failed to open stream: Address family not supported by protocol in /home/blogvol/public_html/common.php on line 219

I don't have any trouble accessing the administrators panel trough the link provided in the installation manual it's only the index I'm having trouble with.

*I don't know if it's important but I needed to change 2 parts in the code that had to do with the following treaths:

Looks like your host doesn't allow the script to open the error pages using urls. Instead, go into the Admin Panel, Click General Settings, and change the error page URLs to just nbs/no_forum_selected.html, nbs/forum_does_not_exist.html, nbs/forum_not_active.html. That should fix it. I am updating the installer and making it do that instead for new installs so that more people don't run into this problem.

I do not know the best English, but have questions(two).
1. Or in version beta 7 are already in form subdomains: www.forumname.forum.com ?
2. If in first question answer this not, then when subdomeny will enter?
I thank for answer.

The subdomain feature will hopefully be in the next beta.
