Creating subdomains
Hi,
I cannot seem to find step-by-step instructions for adding a sub-domain. I have DNS and Web server running.
I want to have a subdomain forward to a specific directory in the document root, not a different server.
Thanks
Pretty simple, really, using Server Admin.
Add an alias (CNAME) record in DNS for the subdomain - "my_subdomain" for example - that points to the FQDN of the hosting server.
Add the subdomain in the Web Services in Server Admin using the FQDN of the subdomain - "my_subdomain.example.com" - and point that site to the folder hosting the subdomain. Enable any additional services you want for the subdomain and you're set to go.
HTH,
-Doug
