is there any way to set a separate default folder for a subdomain? for example, domain.tld is going to go to /var/www/domain.tld what im trying to get to happen is sub.domain.tld winds up pulling the html file from /var/www/domain.tld/subdomain_folder make sense?
You can do this either with a rewrite rule (see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/rewrite/rewrite_guide.html ), or you create a new vhost for sub.domain.tld.
i like to use /var/www/vhost/mysite.com/htdocs <is the www / and top level domain site> /var/www/vhost/mysite.com/logs <apache logs folder> /var/www/vhost/mysite.com/tmp <tmp folder>
