Forum:Language subdomains?

From Orain Meta
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Is it possible on Orain to have a wiki with language subdomains (separate language wikis)? E.g. mywiki.orain.org also has en.mywiki.orain.org, es.mywiki.orain.org, etc. Wynter (talk) 15:45, 14 October 2014 (BST)

It is, but this will require extra server-side configuration. Also this means your wiki won't be covered by our wildcard SSL, and personally I don't support that. A sub-sub-domain SSL cert is very expensive, the lowest price is enough to buy two extra servers for Orain. Our current "hack" is <lang>-<wiki> (nl-allthetropes.orain.org), which is fine.

OK, thanks for the details—I didn't know that the "sub-sub-domain" SSL cert is handled differently. Just using a hyphen would definitely be less complicated. Wynter (talk) 16:57, 14 October 2014 (BST)
