I want to adress parts of my Apache-Web directly. What do I need to get something like

http://aaa.mydomain.com to jump to http://mydomain.com/aaa

and

http://bbb.mydomain.com to jum to http://mydomain.com/bbb

Is something like this possible at all?

Many Thanks for any Tips ...
CU

Sure, mod-rewrite is the way to go.

Hmm, mod_rewrite will also work. However, I just do something like this in my httpd-vhosts.conf to achieve the results you list above:

Code:
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@mydomain.com
    DocumentRoot /www/mydomain.com/htdocs
    ServerName mydomain.com
    ServerAlias www.mydomain.com
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@mydomain.com
    DocumentRoot /www/mydomain.com/htdocs/aaa
    ServerName mydomain.com
    ServerAlias aaa.mydomain.com
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@mydomain.com
    DocumentRoot /www/mydomain.com/htdocs/bbb
    ServerName mydomain.com
    ServerAlias bbb.mydomain.com
</VirtualHost>

This will allow you three domains from the main server, two of which are served from sub-folders under your main site. Of course you could locate the two domains anywhere besides under the main site as well.

Be aware that if you're running dynamic DNS through Zone Edit, you will also have to assign the aaa.mydomain.com and bbb.mydomain.com to your IP Address fields for that zone. Also in your Dynamic Update application, I use Site Developers, you may also have to create an entry for each domain in order to update your IP's.

Hope that helps. Smile
