Or if you'd like to do it the 'auto-magic' way without dealing with .htaccess files, see this customer tutorial:

That's the one I use ... the one with the pictures :p

Just as a note, I have found the automatic way (without .htaccess) to be much more reliable, even when compared to good rewrite rules. Plus there's the bonus of having your content further separated. It's not just an easy way out :)

Here is my problem. I have a domain pointed to /htdocs/vcclan

I have 3 domains on my package. The main package is for mustywindows.com My secondary domains are:

z3forum.com and vcclan.com

I need to know how to setup subdomains for vcclan.com.

Here is the best way to create a subdomain with Powweb.

Access the directory above htdocs. Create a directory of the desired subdomain name in the current directory. Access the new directory. Place a new (empty) htdocs directory in this directory. Place your subdomain file in this htdocs directory just like you would your original htdocs directory.

where you were pointing to /htdocs/subdomain

it will now appear to be /subdomain/htdocs


/cgi-bin
/htdocs
/index.htm
/somefile.htm
/subdomain
/htdocs
/index.htm

The above is a short version of what your directory/file tree should look like when you are done.

http://subdomain.maindomain.com will now display its own index page.
http://maindomain.com will show some other index page.

Congratualtions, you now have a subdomain. (I found some of this info just a short while ago somewhere else in the Powweb forums so I don't take all of the credit for it.)
