One thing you can do is edit your httpd.conf file and have the following setup at the bottom
<VirtualHost 24.237.13.91>
DocumentRoot /home/furbs/public_html
ServerAdmin furbs@swjedi.net
ServerName furbs.swjedi.net
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/furbs/public_html/cgi-bin/
Options ExecCgi Includes Indexes FollowSymlinks
ErrorLog /home/furbs/httplogs/error.log
TransferLog /home/furbs/httplogs/transfer.log
AgentLog /home/furbs/httplogs/agent.log
RefererLog /home/furbs/httplogs/refer.log
</VirtualHost>
Now, obviously with this example I did use your ip for that domain, and I guessed that the users home dir was /home/furbs
but this is what I have done for every one of my customers on my hosting. You can do this for whatever you want, you just
have to tell apache what the domain (servername) is and where on your system it points. IE: www.thisismydomain.com would point
to /home/mydomain/public_html . Then you would of course have to have your dns setup to point your subdomain to your ip as well.
The other thing if you notice is that I have setup a log dir for my customers, this way instead of the traffic going to a global
log, it goes to their individual accounts so they can see the traffic going to their sites.
I don't know where your httpd.conf file is, but mine is under /etc/httpd/conf/
I have put this VirtualHost config at the very end so I can continue to add new ones and they are easy for me to access.
You can also have the ServerName as www.swjedi.net/furbs or anything along those lines. If you have anymore questions, please
feel free to shoot me and email and I will be more than willing to help you out.
