mysite.com/folder => folder.mysite.com (What's it called) 1

[dkdude]

Hi,

When I create folders in the root of my webhotel I can access them in two ways:

1)

http://mysite.com/folder

2)

http://folder.mysite.com

In my testing environment I would like to do the same -how do I configure Apache?

And, just to satisfy my curiosity, what's the latter called?

Thanks

Hi

For example I put this lines in my httpd.conf :

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /mysite
    ServerName mysite
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /mysite/folder
    ServerName folder.mysite
</VirtualHost>

And now I am able to access the same page as [navy][ignore]

http://mysite/folder

[/ignore][/navy] and [navy][ignore]

http://folder.mysite

[/ignore][/navy].

Note that I also added this in my hosts file to work for local testing :

127.0.0.1    mysite folder.mysite

And is called subdomain.
[tt] [red]folder[/red].[green]mysite[/green].[blue]com[/blue]
[red]\____/[/red] [green]\____/[/green] [blue]\_/[/blue]
[red]|[/red] [green]|[/green] [blue]|[/blue]
[red]subdomain[/red] [green]domain[/green] [blue]tld ( top level domain )[/blue][/tt]
