Question Subdomains with Document root inside /httpdocs/

Hello All (new to plesk)
OS: Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS
Product: Plesk Obsidian 18.0.55 Update #2

what i want is:

example.com with the root of /httpdocs​

sub1.example with the root of /httpdocs/sub1​

sub2.example with the root of /httpdocs/sub2
etc​

possibly also:

images.example with the root of /httpdocs/images​

js.example with the root of /httpdocs/js​

​

I want this as my main files/coding, includes, etc are all within /httpdocs so are easy to get relative paths too.
/sub1 will basically contain an almost identical site (well using the same code/database/etc), but with a slightly different config.php file, so that the content/search criteria will display different results

Every time i set up a subdomain (currently using a temporary domain!!!) i get "500 internal server error", even if all i have in httpdocs/sub1 is index.html (hello world, etc)

Is this something possible? or something i am doing wrong. Or will it work without the temporary domain (which is already a subdomain provided by plesk)

Thank you
Jon

Please check your error_log for details on the error no. 500 entry. Normally, the reason is given, too. It could be caused by a wrong .htaccess syntax.

Generally it is not such a good practice to nest domains and subdomains, because for example .htaccess settings from /httpdocs will affect all that is stored in /httpdocs/sub1, /sub2 etc.
