Re: [cobalt-users] new site subdomain



I'm not quite clear what you are trying to do.

If the objective is to set up a website, for example:
http://product.company.com/
..which is operated by the same people as
http://www.company.com


You  can do this by setting up a single virtual site. Hostname "product", domain name "company.com". Then create a single user, make
him a site admin, and tell the client to use this user to maintain the site. Oh, and you need to add an A or CNAME DNS record for
product.company.com. I'd do a CNAME if you don't expect to receive mail @product.company.com.

Alternatively, you can just create a virtual site by editing the httpd.conf, and point it to a subdirectory of the main site.

If you are trying to do something else, you might be more specific.
