[users@httpd] Problem in sub domain creation

[san diego <sa...@yahoo.com>]

Hello, 
 
 I have a problem creating sub domains in my site. I have followed the 
faqs and documentation available on the net.
 
 One of the sites showed me the following procedure:
 "Everyone has a "www" subdomain (In "www.yourdomain.com", the "www" 
part is the subdomain). The www subdomain is created by, and serves files 
from, your /htdocs/www directory on the filesystem. 
  
  To add more subdomains, just create new subdirectories in the /htdocs 
directory.
  
  For instance, if you had the domain name mychevycars.com and wanted a 
subdomain for Corvettes, then you would just create the directory 
/htdocs/corvettes and upload the files in there that you wanted to see at 
http://corvettes.mychevycars.com"
 
 I created a directory called "master" in /htdocs directory and 
uploaded my pages into it.Say my domain is called mysite.com, i entered the 
url in my browser "http://master.mysite.com"  but it gave me an error url 
cannot be found.
 
 Could you please help me out with this problem. I have some users in 
my site. I use php and my sql for all my pages. I want to create sub 
domains for all my users as soon as they register for it i.e., 
username.mysite.com so they can have their own pages there. 
 Your help will be very much appreciated.
 Thank you.
 
 Regards,
 Prasanna Venkatraman.

Sounds like you need to start here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/
and then come back if you have more specific questions.

That sounds like the description for a specific hosting company,
rather than for apache in general.  Stuff like that can be implimented
with mod_rewrite or mod_vhost_alias, but it certainly is not the
default configuration.
