Hello,

I would like to use multiple directories on a subdomain to access
different sites. So for example:

DNS is setup to point to: http://sub.example.com

I need to add the proper rules to httpd.conf so users can get to the
proper sites.

http://sub.example.com/directory1
http://sub.example.com/directory2
http://sub.example.com/directory3

Note that each of the above will have its own document root.

Any would be appreciated.

Thanks!

This is as clear as mud... if you want to access different
subdirectories, just uses different subdirectories, the fact that each
subdir has his own 'site' is of no interest for Apache.
Otherwise explain what you mean and what you want to achieve.

A site can have ONE document root, if you want to use different
subdir, you don't have different sites, you just have different dirs.
You can have different document root if you use different domains
(http://domain1.com, http://domain2.com and so on).

Clear your mind and explain.

Your problem is that Davide is right. I think your thinking is sort of
backwards, and that makes it hard for us to understand exactly what you
are trying to accomplish. More explaination would us you.

Could be that what you are wanting to do can be done through the use of
symbolic links and not with the httpd.conf configuration. But, until we
get more of an idea of what you are wanting it is hard to offer
suggestions.


This may be what you want.....

/usr/local/web/example is the DocumentRoot for http://sub.example.com


>pwd
/usr/local/web/example

>ls -l
drwxrwxrwx directory1 --> /usr/local/web/directory1
drwxrwxrwx directory2 --> /usr/local/web/directory2
drwxrwxrwx directory3 --> /usr/local/web/directory3


This is where directory(1|2|3) are symbolic links to other directories.


The other way to do it is, in fact, in the conf files using the alias
feature.


alias /directory1 /usr/local/web/directory1
alias /directory2 /usr/local/web/directory2
alias /directory3 /usr/local/web/directory3


But again, your terminology used in your post is not standard apache
configuration language that we recognize so we need more information
about what you are trying to accomplish. My suggestions are only based on
what I think you may be trying to do....

Thanks Mark. The alias solution did just what I needed. I apologize if
I didn't explain myself clearly in my original message, but I think
Davide could have been a little more cordial in his reply.

If you got that as 'uncordial' sorry about that, but I shall point out
that is _you_ that are asking for , so you should be the one that
has to be sure that the question is understandable, not just hoping that
whoever read the message can figure out what the problem is.

Now, at the risk of sounding even more 'uncordial' may I point you
to http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html ?
