General confusion about domains
Posted: Thu Aug 01, 2002 10:57 am
Hey everyone. I've been coding HTML and PHP for a while now, but when it comes to how domains and subdomains work I'm totally lost. I have a site up:
http://duvet.vuse.vanderbilt.edu/RER , and I'd like to change the URL to get to it to something like http://www.rer-group.org or more preferably http://rer.vanderbilt.edu .
So I've got a couple questions.
1) If I registered for a domain, would I be able to make it use the subfolder RER instead of just the base (duvet.vuse.vanderbilt.edu) ?
2) Is it possible to have subdomains like rer.vanderbilt.edu use the content from duvet.vuse.vanderbilt.edu/RER ?
If it's not possible for subdomains to use content from another section of the domain, then I guess I could put in a page that forwards the user to the real site, but it would really be nice to display a URL like http://rer.vanderbilt.edu/index.html when the users are browsing the site.
