VW on a seperate domain

**Moses** · January 30, 2011

Hello,

I'm considering moving my VaultWiki onto a separate domain to our main forums, and am wondering what would be involved in getting this to work?

Ideally it would be single sign-on between the two domains, and we're prepared to buy a second VB license if required.

Cheers for any advice,
Moses.

You are going to have issues logging into multiple domains at once unless you are using a mod like vB Cerberus.

Otherwise, it would just be a question of:

Parking the domain so that it points to the same directory as your forum domain.
Changing the Wiki Base URL setting.

I guess the login issue isn't so bad, it's only the 20 or so folk who edit the wiki so I'm happy for them to signon again.

I'm running an unmanaged VPS on linode with nginx proxying apache, does the approach of pointing the DNS for the new domain to my existing IP, then setting up the alias in the nginx rewrites sound like the right approach?
