www prefix on subdomain

Hey @lasota

You could use build in forge redirects but this is not the correct way to handle this.

You should use your DNS records to do this. I use Cloudflare for it and it should look like this:

CNAME record for www.subdomain pointing to subdomain.domain.com

A record for subdomain.domain.com pointing to your forge IP.

Hope it helps!

PS. I'm not too sure about this part: www.subdomain or fullwww.subdomain.domain.com for CNAME, it works just for www for TLD

@lasota You could probably add a Redirect Rule in Forge. Alternately this could be done in the .htaccess file in the public directory of your project or possibly via a redirect in a Laravel route or middleware or something.

Thank you all, I guess I was more wondering if there was an easy way to manage this through forge and not really mess with config files directly. But I went with doing it through the mentioned dns zone file and not let the server have to worry about directing traffic with an extra unnecessary call.
