Configuring Apache to host a subdomain

Find more tutorials at

We'll use a name-based virtual host to configure Apache to host a subdomain with the same IP Address and Port like the parent site.All that can be possible because the server will determine by the headers which content send back to the requesting client .

For example, suppose that your parent domain is www.mysite.com and you wish to add the sub-domain www.sub.mysite.com which, as we know ,has the same IP address.

Go to the Apache directory and open httpd.conf with notepad or any text editor and add the following lines towards the end of the conf. file

    NameVirtualHost *

    <VirtualHost *>
    ServerName www.mysite.com
    DocumentRoot /www/mysite
    </VirtualHost>

    <VirtualHost *>
    ServerName www.sub.mysite.com
    DocumentRoot /www/mysite/sub_mysite
    </VirtualHost>
