Hello there !

First of all, I'm kind of new to virtual hosts and redirecting urls.

I am trying to setup apache to redirect a subdomain to a matching openerp database on my server. Example: http://foo.mydomain.com will call the database foo.

I'm testing with localhost, so I edited /etc/hosts with something like this:

127.0.0.1 foo.localhost
127.0.0.1 bar.localhost
    

Here is my virtual host declaration in /etc/apache2/sites-available/openerp.conf:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName localhost
    ServerAlias *.localhost // Use this if you want dbfillter on subdomain
    ErrorLog /var/log/openerp/openerp-error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/openerp/openerp-access.log combined
    <Proxy *>
        Order deny,allow
        Allow from all
    </Proxy>
    ProxyRequests Off
    ProxyPass / http://localhost:8069/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8069/
    ProxyVia On
    LogLevel warn
</VirtualHost>

After that, I wrote dbfilter = ^%d$ in my openerp.conf file. After apache2 and openerp were restarted, I started testing it.

The thing is, the first time I try to reach a new database, I have to explicitely write http://database-name.localhost?db=name-of-the-new-db. After the first login/logout, I just have to type http://database-name.localhost, as expected. I'm not sure if I have to do it on all computers (no tested yet) but it's kinda weird I think.

Is it part of openrp mechanism to bound a subdomain to a database, or just a bug, or something I've done wrong ?

Thanks

(my edit was a clarification one)

No one ?
