You don't have to rename the documentroot. Apache doesn't care what the documentroot is called, as long as it is set correctly in the config. Users also don't see the documentroot. That your documentroot happens to have the same name as your domain is just because it was once set up that way. Basically what you need to do is: - Define a DNS entrys group.mycomp.com that points to the same servers as ukgroup.mycomp.com. - Change the "servername" directive in your httpd.conf to the new name. - If you want people to be redirected from the old to the new site just create a virtual server with the old name, and have it redirect every request to the new one.
