I'm sorry but you can not do such a format, thats just not possible, a subdomain has to be subdomain.therealdomain.tld. That's what subdomain means...

Please clarify?

subdomains

I am in process of changing server hosts ... the current server host is RHEL running Ensim control panel, and my new server is RHEL running Plesk. On my current server, my subdomains are accessible via http://domain/subdomain as long as I do not have folder subdomain in docroot folder. I am not sure if this was special setup they assisted in, but now all my links to a very large website are coded that way, and it will be a lot of work to find and replace them all.
I am hoping to set that up on new server as well.
Thanks for quick reply,
Jesse

Yes, I have not set this up yet and would like any help you could provide.
Do you want me to contact you directly, or will you just post here ??
Thanks again,

Path2U - You can do this in the domain's vhost.conf file:

Alias   /plesksub   /home/httpd/vhosts/example.com/subdomains/plesksub/httpdocs

On newer fresh Plesk installs, the domain's root may be /var/www/vhosts/...

Then make sure you have your site files in the httpdocs directory and you should be good to go.

Notes: By default, Plesk does not automatically create the vhost.conf file, so you may have to create it. Then run the following command:

/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/websrvmng -u --vhost-name=example.com

Then restart apache manually.

This also assumes you create your subdomains using the Plesk GUI, not a 3rd party utility such as 4PSA's utilities (which stores subdomains in a different location.

subdomains

I have created all my subdomains with the Plesk control panel and they are in the default ... /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/subdomains/subdomain/httpdocs
If I understand correctly ... I run this command:
/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/websrvmng -u --vhost-name=example.com
to generate a vhost.conf file if it does not already exist.
Then I add the following line to the vhost.conf:
Alias /plesksub /home/httpd/vhosts/example.com/subdomains/plesksub/httpdocs
Just making sure I understand, as I am not yet very familiar with Plesk or these setup procedures.
Thanks a ton,
Jesse

Other way around. First you must create the file and put the Alias statement into it, then run the websrvmng command which will integrate the changes in the vhost.conf file into the domain's apache config files. Then restart Apache service.

Can I have your chat ID so that I can tell you how to do this, live.

http://sub.domain.tld <-- is a sub domain.

http://domain.com/sub/ <-- is a directory, not a sub domain.

Just my 0.02....
