I'm trying to figure out how to make a subdomain treat a specific folder or path on my server as its root...
I have Apache/CentOS, WHM and CPanel... help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

If nothing goes right, go left.

You should be able to do this in Apache config.
Are you trying to do this for only one subdomain? Or do you want to do it dynamically for multiple subdomains?

For one sub-domain:

<VirtualHost *>

ServerName subdomain.domain.com

DocumentRoot /home/httpd/htdocs/subdomain/

</VirtualHost>

Just a single sub domain... the problem is i'm not great with Apache at all... is there a way to do this within WHM? Or, perhaps there is a more detailed guide about where that text goes? haha. Further, how do I need to set up the DNS once I do that for a subdomain? I think you catch my drift - I'm a newbie at this...
