CakePHP Questions

Setup a default virtualhost on apache that will serve your sites webroot if no other hosts are matched, or setup a system whereby you can easily add new vhost definitions pointing to that existing webroot path.

I am assuming you also want to differentiate content based on the subdomain that is accessed, to provide a multi-tenancy application.

You can use URI inspection to determine what site has been accessed. This information is kept in the HTTP_HOST variable set on the request sent by the client.

You can see an example of this by throwing this into a controller or view somewhere:

echo env('HTTP_HOST');

Use this as the key for the subdomain information you want to load:

$this->SomeModel->find('all', array(
    'conditions' => array(
        'domain' => env('HTTP_HOST'))));
