I've read all the FAQ in this site but I yet can't figure it out how to make work this component. My hosting service allows me to create subdomains but I can't point them to specific folder. So I've tried to make it work without it on "domain support" I set NO but it yet doesn't work. What can I do?

Ask your hoster to assist you in this issue. Some services allow to add "aliases" to main domain or to setup wildcard subdomain support (e.g. *.domain.com).

Hope I'm posting in the right topic. Installed the extension tonight and am having trouble. I use bluehost... the following is from a live chat with one of their tech support people:

"Jason: [9:33:11 PM] well, it creates subdomains (which may be the issue) for various devices... for instance, on my iPhone I'm redirected to iphone.dsmweather.com ... get an error message saying "safari can't open the page because the server can't be found"
Brandon: [9:33:46 PM] Okay, and are those sub-domains created in the cPanel as well?
Jason: [9:34:09 PM] nope... wasn't sure how to proceed. forgive me as i went to public school
Brandon: [9:34:46 PM] Okay, the Sub-Domains may be the issue then. It sounds like it uses WildCard subdomains or WildCard DNS which we don't support on our system
Jason: [9:36:03 PM] so what should i do?
Brandon: [9:38:06 PM] Are you able to contact the Mobile Joomla plugin developers? Because they might have an alternative way to set it up without the use of Wildcard sub-domains. Other then that, it won't run configured like that on our system"

Mobile Joomla doesn't "creates subdomains for various devices", it allows you to use existing subdomains for mobile site version. It's not necessary to use wilcard dns, you can try to setup aliases for main domain or to setup subdomains to point to the directory of the main domain (seems cpanel supports last way).

I've tried with that in my .htaccess file but it doesn't work

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^iphone.mysite.it$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ www.mysite.it/$1 [R=301,L]

This way shouldn't work, of course. Use one of two abovementioned ways (alias or same dir).
