I have tried to create a subdomain call exam.certifyexpress.com but it won't work.

You create a seperate account, instead of using "www" use the sub you want.

Then when its created the easiest way to point it to where you want it is putting a simple .html file in it that will tell is where to go like this:

<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0; URL=http://www.noxraq.com/">

(same post when i answered your exsact same question in the other forums ;p)

create a new virtual site. Instead of hostname www you give the subdomain you want.

Then you have to edit in your db files of the DNS-server an add an A record for the subdomain.

All should work now.

My self i dont like to do it that way.
I like to add a enrty for the subdomain in the DNS settings found in the CGI, then
changing /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
telling it to incule another file.

In that other file i will put the settings for the subdomain.

I like to do it this way because you can have subdomains with out using vertual site in the CGI.

eg. u want the url sub.domain.com

By NOT using the GUI you can have sub.domain.com takes all its files from
/home/sites/sitex/sub
there for the owner of the domain can chang the content of the subdomain with out having to login with another username and password.

Sorry i did not go into this a little deeper, if you want i will make a tutorial and put it on a site some where.

Also I will be making a php script that will do this automaticly. This will be a while away as I am working on some other projects. You can see the proggress of my work at www.lantyland.co.uk
