: Pointing a subdomain (subdomain.example.com) to a subfolder (example.com/subfolder)? I want my subdomain subdomain.example.com to load content from a subfolder on the root domain example.com/subfolder.

If you are using Apache then you can simply create an additional VirtualHost for your sub domain and set the webroot to the directory you choose.



Example:

Your current VirtualHost is most likely something along the lines of the following; with the ServerName your domain and the DocumentRoot being the web root.

<VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80>
ServerName example.com DocumentRoot "/www/domain"
</VirtualHost>


You could create another VirtualHost with the ServerName as the sub domain and the DocumentRoot as the sub folder you want to use such as this:

<VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80>
ServerName subdomain.example.com
DocumentRoot "/www/domain/subfolder"
</VirtualHost>


Now when you access subdomain.example.com in your browser it would load the content from /www/domain/subfolder. Keep in mind that in this example you would still be able to access the sub folder by going to example.com/subfolder since the sub folder is still within the first VirtualHosts DocumentRoot.
