[Discuss] Need Apache help

[Greg Rundlett (freephile)]

It doesn't matter what the file name is (well, actually, the
alpha-numeric order of apache configuration files will determine the
order in which they are loaded, and first match wins.)  Naming the
configuration after the domain (or subdomain) is the convention.
There must be a configuration file with ServerName or ServerAlias
xyz.example.com in order for that subdomain to be "answered" by
Apache.  The only other thing you need is to set the DocumentRoot to
your path /var/www/html/www.example.com/xyz if that is where you want
to serve the base of your content.
