I’m having an issue with getting a site set up in the web.config file

  • 0

I’m having an issue with getting a site set up in the web.config file for a Sitecore site. Specifically I can’t figure how to use the hostName property to capture the “www” subdomain for a domain (e.g. http://www.mydomain.com) as well as no specified subdomain (e.g. mydomain.com).

I’ve experimented a little and found that I can do something like *.mydomain.com and it works. But the problem is that we want users to also be able to go to just mydomain.com and have the site come up. When I have the hostName configured as *.mydomain.com this apparently is not possible.

Any ideas? The Sitecore developer network doesn’t say too much on this (unless it’s hidden somewhere I couldn’t find).

    Try no dot in the hostName:

    <site hostName="*mydomain.com" ... />
