Hey,

Once I setup my DNS server and other services, and I point my domain to my machine, how do I point it the specific www folder? if I want host.domain.com to the default /var/www and the www.domain.com to the /home/site/ folder?

thanks,

Edit your httpd.conf file and add a VirtualHost, eg:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@domain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www
ServerName host.domain.com
ErrorLog logs/host.domain.com-error_log
CustomLog logs/host.domain.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>

If you want your main www.domain.com to point to /home/site then I would suggest changing your DocumentRoot to that.
