You can rewrite the url so that subdomain.domain.org is transformed to domain.org/subdomain (I have no idea how you do that in lighttpd, but it should be possible), then create urls that use this as a parameter, for example:

urls = (
  '/([a-z0-9\-]*)/home', 'home',
  '/([a-z0-9\-]*)/profile', 'profile'
)

class home:
  def GET(self, user):
    render.home(user)

class profile:
  def GET(self, user):
    render.profile(user)

This is the lighttpd configuration you need.

$HTTP["host"] =~ "^.*slide.com$" {
server.document-root = "/path/to/code/"
fastcgi.server = ( "/run.py" =>
(( "socket" => "/tmp/slide.socket",
"bin-path" => "/path/to/code/run.py",
"max-procs" => 1
))
)

url.rewrite-once =(
"^/favicon.ico$" => "/static/favicon.ico",
"^/static/(.*)$" => "/static/$1",
"^/(.*)$" => "/run.py/$1",
)
}

and in web.py code, you can get the hostname by looking at web.ctx.host.

You first need to add a wildcard dns entry to respond to any subdomains
and point it to your lighty server. After you need something like
$HTTP["host"] =~ "\.domain\.com" in your lighty vhost config.

now all the hits to
my.slide.com
anand.slide.com
web.slide.com will all goto '/'
and / is mapped to index in urls

how do i map anand.slide.com to profile/anand

and web.slide.com to profile/web

thanks a lot

Why do you want to do it like that? what about other urls like anand.slide.com/something?

I think it is goof to use web.ctx.host to idenify what action to be taken?

One possible hack i can think of is this. 

may be i will be able to suggest a better solution, if you can discuss some more details of the problem.

# all your code goes here

def handler():

   # changing the web.ctx.path to redirect request to profiles/name

   match = re.match(r'(.*).slide.com', web.ctx.host)

   if match:

       web.ctx.path = "/profile/%s/%s" % (match.group(1), web.ctx.path)

    

   return web.request.handle(urls, globals())

if __name__ == "__main__":

    web.run(handler, globals())

It redirects all requests to name.slide.com/abcd to /profiles/name/abcd

caution: i haven't tested this code.
