automatic sub domain

[experienced]

we are creating automatic sub domain through admin but when a domain is created it is pointing to the same parent site everytime.

subdomain.example.com/ - pointing to the main domain content like http://www.example.com

subdomain.example.com/subdomain.html - pointing to the subdomain content page.

is there anyway to point the subdomain on the subdomain content only.

wud appreciate any help.

The answer depends on your admin "control panel" options. You may be able to set an option in the control panel itself to assign each new domain to a separate subdirectory. Be aware that this complicates such things as sharing scripts among the hosted domains, but is actually the most common implementation -- Your case is relatively rare.

You can also use Apache mod_rewrite to check the %{HTTP_HOST} variable, and rewrite requests to different subdirectories based on the requested hostname. See the Apache mod_rewrite documentation, and especially the "Mass Virtual Hosting" section in the URL Rewriting Guide [httpd.apache.org].

We also have tons of previous threads here on rewriting domains or subdomains to subdirectories -- Try a search on WebmasterWorld.
