How do i create virtual subdomain using htaccess?

How can I use Devise to authenticate/create users within a subdomain?

• How can I use Devise to manage authentication and creation of users within a subdomain? I have an Account model with a subdomain string and a has_many relationship to the User model which authenticates using email and password. Any examples would be great. I've looked at stuff like ... http://railsapps.github.io/tutorial-rails-subdomains.html http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6321498/scoping-email-to-subdomain-in-devise-rails but they aren't quite what I'm looking for. Thanks

• Answer:

  Are you looking to do multitenancy?  So you can have foo, bar, baz as subdomains each with their own scope of data? There are a few gems that will help you do this: https://github.com/influitive/apartment https://github.com/dsaronin/milia You can find more at ruby toolbox: https://www.ruby-toolbox.com/categories/Multitenancy (Multitenancy category) Some devise specific answers since that's what you started with: https://github.com/digitalopera/devise-basecamper is an extension to devise to give you subdomain support https://github.com/fortuity/rails3-subdomain-devise/wiki/Tutorial-%28Walkthrough%29 is a wiki walkthrough of the Railscasts episode below but adds devise (don't follow the updated version link because that will take you to the RailsApp version) Railscasts has done a few on subdomains, not specific to devise though: http://railscasts.com/episodes/221-subdomains-in-rails-3 Which also links to: http://bcardarella.com/post/716951242/custom-subdomains-in-rails-3
