Need help rewriting url so that "http://mydomain.com/myapp" looks like "http://myapp.mydomain.com/"

[Lisandro]

I'm using web2py on production with lighttpd. My site has two web2py applications: "init" and "guide". I already created routes.py to hide "init" from the url. 

In addition, I would like that "guide" application appears as a subdomain, so that every url of this form "mydomain.com/guide/" looks like "guide.mydomain.com"

For example, this url

    mydomain.com/guide/posts/index

should look like

    guide.mydomain.com/posts/index

I don't mind using lighttpd mod_rewrite or web2py routes.py... But I don't have **any** experience in regular expresions. So I was wondering if someone could give me a hand on this, maybe sharing some examples of similar cases.

Thanks in advance! Regards, Lisandro.

You shouldn't need regex for this. Try using the domains key instead of default_application in routes.py:

routers = dict(
  BASE  = dict(
    domains = {'guide.mydomain.com': 'guide',
                     'mydomain.com': 'init',
              }
  )
)

Thank you very much. So simple and clean solution. 

One more question: ¿is there any way to test this in localhost with web2py development server?
