Creating subdomains from command line

[sorathia]

Anyone know how to create subdomains from the command line? I know how to do it from cpanel, but I'm trying to script out my setup process.

I've updated the following files and the sub-domain does not come up on the browser....

/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
/var/named/mydomain.com.db
/etc/localdomains
/etc/userdomains

Am I missing any other files?

Thanks,
Neil

There are also the cPanel user file and the cPanel user meta file
/var/cpanel/users/USERNAME
/var/cpanel/userdata/USERNAME/subdomain.file

There are a number of advantages to not editing the apache configuration file as your changes will probably get overwritten during an update.
cPanel/WHM builds that configuration file from various metadata files that should be edited instead.

If you are looking to script the creation of subdomains, I suggest using the cPanel API. More information on the addsubdomain function can be found here:
http://docs.cpanel.net/twiki/bin/vie...n_addsubdomain

There are also a few php scripts set up to perform this same thing that have been passed around on the cPanel forums.

Thanks GatorBClemmer!

If anyone has already written a script to create a sub-domains, could you please email it to me? I would really appreciate it! Thanks

Searched in the cPanel forums and found this:

Perfect Thanks!
I'll modify the script as needed...
