How to create Subdomains pointing to different folders in a web server?

Question

This may be basic but not able to find right answer so far. My requirement:

• 1. I will have a domain --> http://www.mydomain.com and it points to a folder called say - \landing
  2. I will have multiple customers
  3. As they register to us, I want to create routes like customer1.mydomain.com, customer2.mydomain.com
  4. I want customer1.mydomain.com point to \landing\customer1 and so forth

I shall have an html5/angularjs app running in each folder which will hold each customer context and various other resources. Webserver preferably = IIS8 (for Win) or Apache Tomcat (for linux)

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

with apache you could write a .htacces file from a PHP script using mod_rewrite. However the processing time is going to up on the server for every rewrite rule you make from your php script.
