Hi there,

I have apache2 http server running on my Debian box. The problem that I'm facing is how to create a subdomain.

Here is what I have in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf:

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName www.abc.com
DocumentRoot /var/www
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName webmail.abc.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/squirrelmail
</VirtualHost>

As you can see I'm tring to setup the subdomain 'webmail' under abc.com for SquirrelMail.

How can I tell apache2 to goto DocumentRoot /var/www/squirrelmail when somebody types webmail.abc.com into their browser?

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName egemen
DocumentRoot /var/www/egemen
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName mail.egemen
ServerAlias mail.*
ServerAdmin postmaster@egemen
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/webmail/
</VirtualHost>

Thanks, the NameVirtualHost *:80 did the trick.

I added that on top of the VirtualHosts and started working just fine.
