Question

I registered a sub domain on my server using DNS: client.henrybuilt.com

If I wanted the default directory of client.henrybuilt.com to be /client/ on my ftp server, what would I do?

Basically I want it to be like a separate site when you visit client.henrybuilt.com

Apparently I should use .htaccess -> mod_rewrite but what would I do more specifically?

If your using apache you need to add a new virtualhost then you just need to change the document root in the virtualhost to the location of your files and then make that folder in the web root

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName client.henrybuilt.com
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/client/"
<Directory "/var/www/html/client/">
allow from all
Options +Indexes
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

put your files here – /var/www/html/client/
