Apache Sub-Domains...how to set up

[sgtpepper9999]

Hello,

I have an apache web server and I am trying to setup a sub domain. What I would like to do is the following:

1) Create a sub domain called sub.mydomain.com
2) I would like to cofigure it so that all I need to do when uploading content into this sub domain is upload files to this directory

http://www.mydomain.com/sub

I have searched and I am not sure how this can be done. Can anyone offer some help? Thanks!

In simplest form, set up a new namevirtual server like:

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /physical_path_to/sub
ServerName sub.mydomain.com
</VirtualHost>

Just a note. If you have one virtual host, you must make use virtual hosts for all your domains and sub-domains. The default server will be the first one defined. You can use almost any directive in a vhost container that you can use in the main (global) section.
