Re: [cobalt-users] How to setup DNS for a Sub-Domain on Raq4

["Shaun Johnston" <shaun@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Simplest solution there is to chuck a frameset in www.thecobaltgirls.com
which simply loads www.thecobaltguys.com 's subdir inside it - though that's
only a cosmetic rather than functional solution.

You will almost certainly have to mess around with Apache's mod_rewrite, or
change the webroot directory of  the www.thecobaltgirls in apache's
httpd.conf to do what you're proposing.

Do some research at apache.org for info about mod_rewrite and the how
virtual hosts are set up, and if you do end up touching httpd.conf, remember
to back it up constantly in case apache stops working! :-)
