Ok, you talking about two seperate issues.

Issue #1: FTP can be setup with a subfolder under the htdocs folder, such as a folder like bob.

Issue #2: bob.yoursite.com is a subdomain. In order to set this up, you can use the Subdomain Tutorial at the U.P.S. site.

Hope this helps!

Could you just clarify something in your tutorial about how to set up the subdomain in the .htaccess file?

For these lines:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} sub.yoursite.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !sub/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ sub/$1 [L]

If I wanted the subdomain "ac" do I make the 3 edits look like:

ac.mysite.com
!sub/ac
sub/ac$1

Or is it a different set up? I'm interested in having a subdomain or two on my site, and I've already set up the CNAMES I want to have in preparation to do this. I'm just not sure on the actual way to edit the file :)

Thanks for any help, and btw I want to say your unofficial tutorials are a great help!

Close. It would actually be as follows:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ac.yoursite.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !ac/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ac/$1 [L]

This is because you'd be substituting ac where you see the word sub. Just a little play on word fun here :)

Hope this helps!

Ahhhhhh! I thought that the "!sub" was a command hehe :)

Thanks very much for clarifying that sir!

Nope. That's the subfolder line. It basically checks to make sure they're not accessing the folder directly, such as yoursite.com/sub

So this takes ac.domain.com and forwards it to domain.com/ac? How do I make it forward to something else, like evil/forum?
