Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt Monday at 02:04 PM
Aetherdan Posted May 20, 2019 Posted May 20, 2019 I want to know if its possible to resolve an IPB application to a subdomain rather than as a directory of the parent? For example: currently i have the community product setup at forum.domain.com and would like the pages application to exist at content.domain.com Could this work without redirecting? I manage my own aws server and would imagine i could do it with a virtualhost configuration, but before I go and muddle something up, wanted to check if anyone has done this with success before?

Joy Rex Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 I don't see how this is a violation of the EULA - if his forum app is at Forum.domain.com, why couldn't he put his Pages app at content.domain.com as long as domain.com is the same site/URL?
opentype Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 A sub domain is technically a different domain. This was debated before in this forum if you are interested to read it, but it is just a fact. Of course, IPS could add subdomain support in the future and change the licensing restrictions to reflect that, but at the moment, it is the way it is.
