Apache2 URL route to directory

Question

I would like apache to send 10.23.45.67/subdomain to /var/www/subdomain

What is the easiest way to do this?

Answer 1

Add the following to your apache configuration:

Alias /subdomain/ "/var/www/subdomain"
<Directory "/var/www/subdomain">
    # Configuration specific to that directory
</Directory>

Answer 2

You're looking for the Alias directive which maps requested URIs to local directories outside of the DocumentRoot.

For example:

Alias /subdomain/ /var/www/subdomain/

As an a-side, a subdomain is the part before the domain (subdomain.mysite.com), not the directory after (mysite.com/URI/). So this usage is very confusing...
