httpd.conf config question

Hi All,

A little new to Apache but here is what I am trying to do.

I have a sub domain called forums.abc123.com (fictitious). I want users to hit the forums when they type that url. When users type www.abc123.com however i want them to go to the main web site.

I am guessing this is in directory linking in the httpd.conf file but Im not exactly sure how to accomplish this. I know how to make a specific directory the default but not splitting two like this.

Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

 

Read about virtual_hosts part in apache config. Then you can create sub-domain yourself

 

Or put this in .htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^forums.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /forums/1$

 

What control panel are you using?
