Hello,
That isn't really possible, even with the custom httpd.conf feature.. I think you'd need to manually add your own virtualhost to the main httpd.conf then (before the Include lines).

I was actually thinking about this earlier! with the subdomain feature have options:
Subdomain: [______].domain.com
Path: /domain.com/[______]
The usefu thing allowing that, is they could have:
/domain.com/subdomainname/
and have subdomain only, or they could have:
/domain.com/public_html/subdomainname/
which comes very useful, we often use it to allow:
domain.com/forum
forum.domain.com without any additional work, and it makes a neat feature at the same time
obviously, the path has to be limited so they must be /domain.com/* without having access to the httpd.conf which keeps things safe at the same time as offering options!

Our current controlpanel has this feature, have a look at a testaccount in confixx:

username: web263

Confixx has a nice layout and userfriendly interface and LOTS of bugs. But there are some features I like in confixx that I would like to se in DA...

Does it need a resoluition? To me it's more like a feature request.
I see it as a real maintenance nightmare; at some point everyone's going to lose track of what subdomain points to which folder, and it's going to take logging in to the control panel to figure it out.
I don't see any compelling reason to need the feature.
Should I move the thred to the Feedback & Feature Requests?

Yeah, moved to directadmin becuz cpanel raised pricing.
how about it, shouldn't be that difficult to point a domain to a folder that exists
on another domain.

I've added the back-end support for subdomain DocumentRoot overrides:
https://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=2573
The GUI portion has yet to be implemented.
The changes to the templates to make this happen was a bit trickier than expected, and does change the default token/behavior on how the Subdomain VirtualHosts are defined.
Used to be:
but is now:
where the hard part is to do it in a way that minimizes the changes of breaking any customized DOCROOT overrides that are already there, and carrying it forward into the new system. This is currently available in the pre-release area.

TNX, John,

At the moment, you'd ask the server admin.
Once the GUI part is done, the very entry will be updated, then it will work through 2222.
