[Discuss] Need Apache help

[scottmarydavidsam at gmail.com]

Hi,

We've got Apache running on a text-only (no GUI) Linux server and I need to
create a new, additional web site. The new site will point to data that is
already on the server as part of another site, users currently go to
www.mydomain.com/xyz/abc.htm, I want them to be able to go to
xyz.mydomain.com and get to the same page. Our DNS has been updated to list
the new host.

Is it as simple as adding a file named xyz.mydomain.com in
/etc/apache2/vhosts.d with all the appropriate settings and restarting
apache2 or is there something else I need to do?

Thanks,
Scott
