Forum Hosting Creation

[Fait]

Hey,

Im looking in creating a forum host, I know it needs to be on seperate tables thanks to sporks advice All I need to know now is how to redirect the domain servers (eg.. localhost/exampleforum/) to its own settings and content. How is that possible.

I obviously know PHP, SQL, Java &bJava Script & Linux since my Android Tablet is linux based.


So Far ive Got Every Forum Config & settings.php files sperate (each Forum has its own config & settings)
And in index.php Ive got index.php?forum=forumsname, I Be using htaccess to change it to/forumname/ soon.
If people lead me in The right direction I will Be making this open source for Mybb.

Am I doing This right?
Thanks,

.htaccess hacks!

Google up "Wildcard Domains .htaccess" and that will give you the information you need.

Ok, I will and I am doing it right? with it being index.php?forum=forums_name then I can use htaccess?

I want to be domain.com/forum/ first then I can add on sub domains.

You shouldn't have to ask. You should take the initiative and google it.

I have googled not much information on Forum Hosts. I will try To look Up other results.

Don't get into something technically involved without 110% of your information or customers will eat you alive.

This is true. The moment I took over H4P this happened to me.

No wonder. You're googling the wrong thing. Google things as you need them.

And like you said on MyBB: "I've only been learning for a year, so I can't do anything fancy"

Take my advice. Wait. Wait until you know enough to create your own, then you can do what you like.

I agree, I dont have the time to manage host at this time anyway. Think I will stick to general PHP.
I know how to create a custom forum,CMS & Facebook Like page stem at the moment. Im intergrating this with mybb(Finding this easy)
I might try again in A few years.

Thanks for the advice.
