domain pointing to a specific folder
 

there is a server x.y.x.com

and i want a domain aa.vv.com to point a specific folder from the x.y.com

Is it practicable?

I think you mean. I've got apache answering for x.y.com and its document root is set to, say: /var/www/htdocs/index.html, meanwhile I've also got aa.vv.com aimed at that machine and I want apache to know its document root is: /var/www/htdocs/aavv/index.html

Is that right?

If so, Virtual Domains.... take a look at your httpd.conf file and page down to near the bottom. Remember you'll have to create a virtual entry for your primary domain too.

Also, this is so NOT a hardware question, I'm gonna move this one to Software.

Thanks for your response.

I feel that i have to change the name server to make the new subdomain x.y.com of x.com

Am i right?

This x.y. stuff is a little confusing. Let's use a full word:

In the name server record for goop.com if you wanted a blue.goop.com, then yes you need to add an entry for blue into goop.com's primary name record to point to the same IP.

Then amend the httpd.conf file for virtual domains.
