Body
I am creating an application in a LAMP stack and I want to provide the user with the ability to use their own domain instead of a subdomain of my site. eg. Instead of: <a href="http://some_user.mysite.com" rel="noreferrer">http://some_user.mysite.com</a> They will use: <a href="http://store.some_user.com/" rel="noreferrer">http://store.some_user.com/</a> I know there are a few companies that provide this using CNAME records. (<a href="http://help.bigcartel.com/articles/14-using-a-custom-domain" rel="noreferrer">http://help.bigcartel.com/articles/14-using-a-custom-domain</a>) however I'm not sure how they achieve this end-to-end. My questions are: <ol> <li>What is this process called? (So I can research this further if need be)</li> <li>What do I need to do to provide this? ie. What do I need to do on the DNS, apache and php side to get this working? </li> </ol> Any advice, links or code snippets would be greatly appreciated. Thanks <hr> UPDATE So far I have been able to set up the wildcard DNS entry however I'm still having problems with the CNAME record resolving to the other domain. eg. <a href="http://store.weareunified.com/" rel="noreferrer">http://store.weareunified.com/</a> -> <a href="http://weareunified.joshstuart.com.au/" rel="noreferrer">http://weareunified.joshstuart.com.au/</a> weareunified.com (this is a test user host) DNS <pre><code>weareunified.com. A 111.67.3.227 store CNAME weareunified.joshstuart.com.au. </code></pre> joshstuart.com.au (This is the primary application host) DNS <pre><code>joshstuart.com.au. A 111.67.3.227 * CNAME joshstuart.com.au. </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
