      How do I point a subdomain at my wiki?

      I'm sure there is an easy answer, but I haven't found it yet.

      I'd like to point a subdomain to my newly installed VaultWiki.

      I've got something like www.mydomain.com for my main site, forum.mydomain.com/ for the forum site and I'd like to have wiki.mydomain.com for the wiki (my old MediaWiki sits there now.)

      I can only point to a folder, not a file so pointing the domain to forum/showwiki.php won't work.

      I don't think pointing to the /vault folder will either...

      Thank you in advance for answering this simple, newb question.

      While this is possible, I would not recommend it at the time because there are long-standing bugs in vBulletin that make certain things not work correctly. If you're running vBulletin 4.1.4 or later, the editor will be completely unusable if different forum components, like blog, forum, or CMS are on different sub-domains. This issue is unfortunately inherited by VaultWiki.

      Instead, you may just want to redirect visitors to wiki.domain.com to your new wiki address. You can do this by fiddling with your .htaccess file on your subdomain. Example:
      Code:
      RewriteRule ^wiki/(.*)$ http://forum.domain.com/showwiki.php?title=$1 [L,QSA,R=301]
      Although it may be more beneficial to set up Simple URLs in VaultWiki: Server Settings to have forum.domain.com/wiki/Article

      Thanks for the answer!

      I guess the subdomain vanishes for now.
