django, multi-tenancy and urls

[vijay shanker]

 am writing a e-commerce application where different people can have stores with urls like this: www.store-one.saas.com, www.store-two.saas.com, and so on.

These domains have to be generated automatically when a user signs up for store.

I have read somewhere that www.saas.com/store-one can be rewritten as store-one.saas.com (ofcourse, they din told me how :( ).

Is it possible and how it can be done, how can i achieve it in production and with my local machine?

Take a look at Cartridge. It has multi-tenancy out of the box.

The rewriting can be done in Nginx or Apache.

Hi,

Are you using nginx or apache?

The especially tricky part about this is handling the local-machine case.
