Hey,
I’m a newbie and was wondering on how to setup subdomains on Ubuntu 12.04 on DigitalOcean so that the subdomain points to a folder.
Thank you

<blockquote>Is it possible to redirect a subdomain that I’ve created to a specific folder, without touch apache config files? Only using Digital Ocean’s DNS admin? </blockquote>No, that is not possible. You will need to create a virtualhost and configure it to redirect to <strong>http://panel.mydomain.com/etc/apps/webmail/</strong>.
We have an article on setting up virtualhosts for additional domains/subdomains: <br> <br>https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-apache-virtual-hosts-on-ubuntu-12-04-lts <br> <br>https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-apache-virtual-hosts-on-centos-6
