Subsites (I.e. inkubator.idevgames.com)

[Kjurtyl]

When might it be reasonable to expect subsites to be back up?

Or perhaps the methodology necessary to access them has changed?

Sub-domains are going to be down for a time. Under our old server, we added them via a kind of "hack". Administration of them was not so easy.

The same goes with our current server's CP -- adding subdomains requires a hack. I plan to purchase a 3rd party bundle which adds many features to the CP, one of which is integrated sub-domain support.

The bundle is expensive so until then, I'll think of an alternative. Like perhaps using a folder under the idevgames site.

Cheers,

Hi, I just wanted to let you all know that I haven't forgotten about Inkubator.

As I have mentioned, adding sub-domains to the new server is not so trivial -- though a "hacked" method is do-able. I'd rather not though. What I have plan to to buy a 3rd party product which amoung many many additional features for running the server, allow for proper and easy sub-domain creation. Once I have that in hand, Inkubator will be back up. (Problem is that the package I want costs about $300, so I have to wait for more donations to trickle in.)

In the meantime, I have to ask... Is Hooptie on SourceForge? If not, it would be good to place there, so people can keep working on the project. Place the link to SourceForge here as a sticky.

Cheers,

[Kjurtyl]

Yeah, the link to sourceforge is in the first sticky.

There is an issue with VT linking back to the subdomain and the newest Hooptie not being on SourceForge (it is only available on the subdomain) that would have to be fixed.

I'll look into it.

Please let me know if this is a priority and I will research a semi-free solution without the need for additional control panels.

OK, I will try to remind myself to get the VT and MacGameFiles links fixed.

Tom, there are many "free" ways to add sub-domains as you know. But if (when) we add them, I'll like to do it either through Plesk directly (I hear the next version will have it built-in) or via that 3rd party solution by 4PSA, which also integrates very smoothly with Plesk.

I want to be a martyr and spend far more money on this site than is absolutely necessary; also making sure that things are as difficult as possible to upgrade in the future and take as long as possible to get set up initially.

Sorry, grumpy, not enough sleep...

That's free, easy, and ready to roll today.

Yes but.. then the management software we are using won't see the sub domain.
