We have our Wordpress site running fine, but (as per the tutorial) its installed in /var/www/
say i wanted to have another site on the same server with a subdomain, how would get that set-up?
this is mainly for future referance, in case it might be important to change something now should that time come.

You would add a subdomain in to your DNS through our Domains manager and then create another virtual host entry in your Apache config or nginx config (server name) and then provide it with a separate document root.
Option 2, enable multisite function (according wordpress official docs -http://codex.wordpress.org/Configuring_Wildcard_Subdomains) : <br> <br>Apache - In the httpd.conf file, or in the include file containing the VirtualHost section for your web account, add a line like this: <br> <br>ServerAlias .example.com <br> <br>Also create a wildcard DNS record like: <br> <br>.mysite.com A 111.111.111.111 <br> <br>Important note: You will need to add this line of code to your wp-config.php to enable multisite function : <br> <br>define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true);
i see, thanks for the help, so i don’t need to modify anything with my file structure? <br> <br>With previous hosting i’m used to bending to all these rules, the amount of freedom here is amazing :D
