We are seeking development of a script (can be in PHP or Linux shell called through PHP) that will take an alphanumeric name from a variable in PHP and make this into a subdomain (subdomain set up in /var/www/html/users/) without requiring Apache to reboot.
The idea is that through our website, a user signs up, defines their subdomain and then having paid, the subdomain is created through the script to be created. The new user gets a success message and can click further.
We currently use an Ensim Pro Control Panel to manually create these subdomains, and would like the script to duplicate in essence how Ensim does it.
As we use a third-party managed dedicated server, please indicate what files you will need access to / have de-restricted.
