I’m having trouble using virtual domains 0.6. I believe that is the version that has been updated for the radiant .6 candidate. I am able to specify the slug of a default page that I want any requests forwarded to the radiant installation to go to. However nothing else seems to work. Upon inserting a debugging block of code in the installation and running all sorts of inspections on the “@hostname ||= Page.request.respond\_to?(:host) ? Page.request.host : nil” it always returns nil. @hostname is always nil ---

If it is, then the request doesn’t have any host information which is just odd. ~~ Brian ---

Hi, I had the same problem when I installed virtual domain extension (ver. 1.1) some days ago. I solved it by this patch. — virtual\_domain\_extension.rb.orig 2007-04-21 21:28:32.000000000 +0900 +++ virtual\_domain\_extension.rb 2007-04-21 21:37:23.000000000 +0900 @@ -8,7 +8,13 @@ def activate Page.send :mattr\_accessor, :request require\_dependency ‘application’ - SiteController.send :alias\_method, :show\_page\_orig, :show\_page - SiteController.send :remove\_method, :show\_page SiteController.send :include, CacheByDomain VirtualDomainPage end - - def deactivate - SiteController.send :alias\_method, :show\_page, :show\_page\_orig - end end This removes the method SiteController#show\_page before SiteController includes CacheByDomain, because Ruby’s Mix-in is realised by inserting a module into class inheritance relation.(SiteController \> CacheByDomain \> ApplicationController \> …) I think @hostname is always nil when SiteController#show\_page is not removed.(because CacheByDomain#show\_page is not called but original SiteController#show\_page, and Page.request is setted by CacheByDomain#show\_page) This patch works fine in my environment. * * * Keita Y. 2007/4/21, Brian G.

I will apply this patch and put out 1.2, which should be available soon at: [http://silverinsanity.com/~benji/radiant/virtual\_domain-1.2.tar.gz](http://silverinsanity.com/~benji/radiant/virtual_domain-1.2.tar.gz) ~~ Brian ---

Thanks alot guys. 1.2.1 works like a breeze. The only question I have no is that since the “:” character is used to delimit the domain name from the slug, is there anyway to forward domains with a specified port? I tried [x.y.com:3003](http://x.y.com:3003): and it didn’t work. I totally don’t need this functionality but I was just curious. ---

As written, it only distinguishes based on the host and completely ignores the port. So, if you only have one Radiant instance on [x.y.com](http://x.y.com), then it doesn’t matter what port. If you want [x.y.com:3003](http://x.y.com:3003) and [x.y.com:80](http://x.y.com:80) to be different “domains”, you’ll need to poke through the code to change request.host to request.host\_with\_port. And to add it to the YAML config, you’d do something like: “[x.y.com:3003](http://x.y.com:3003)” : slug1 ~~ Brian ---
