accepted  Add the following to your apache configuration:  Alias
/subdomain/ "/var/www/subdomain" <Directory
"/var/www/subdomain">     # Configuration specific to that
directory share|improve this answer  You're looking for the
Alias directive which maps requested URIs to local directories
outside of the DocumentRoot.  For example:  Alias /subdomain/
/var/www/subdomain/  As an a-side, a subdomain is the part
before the domain (subdomain.mysite.com), not the directory
after (mysite.com/URI/). So this usage is very confusing...
share|improve this answer Indeed. At work we use a proxy, so I
can't do local config to point my computer to a different
ip...so I can't work with domain names...I have to use my
server's ip. –  Kevin Brown Jun 13 '11 at 15:01  Your Answer
