Hi,

My current site has been built up using folder names which are capitalised etc...

I would like to know how to add subdomains... but not by using the CPanel as the cpanel will create brand new directories which are lowercase, i need them to be capitalised instead, so is there any other ways of making sub domains than using CPanel internal feature?

The conf's etc?

His problem isn't with the subdomain's capitalization, it's that cpanel sets subdomains up to grab info from a lowercase directory.

subdomain.domain.com is pulling from domain.com/subdomain

He needs:
subdomain.domain.com to pull from domain.com/Subdomain

You should be able to change the information located in httpd.conf (make a backup of it before you do any editing).

Yeah i need it to pull from domain.com/Subdomain not /subdomain.

Im not sure what part of the conf to edit as there's quite a bit in there, could you give me a little hand with what to put where? And do i have to add any DNS zone's ?

The problem is i do not want to have to spend a lot of money to have my entire network recoded, it's not as easy as just going through every page replacing 'subdomain' with '/Folder/' because if it was i would not need to be posting here :)

All your help greatly appreciated, rsvp.

The simplest way to do that is do the following.

In /home/user/public_html
mv subdomain to Subdomain
ln -s Subdomain subdomain

Works like a charm. And you do not have to muck around with all the different config files and there are several that would need to be changed.

Hey it works!!!!

But just for future reference... does anyone know the way to add a subdomain manually... without cPanel whether it be adding stuff to conf's etc,

Thanks to dgbaker aswell ! :)
