I'm not quite sure exactly what you want, but I'm guessing you want to house all the content for all the sites under a single folder. It's certainly possible to do something like (very minimal configuration here): <VirtualHost 10.0.0.10:80> ServerName www.example.net DocumentRoot /var/www/html </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost 10.0.0.10:80> ServerName a.example.net DocumentRoot /var/www/html/site-a </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost 10.0.0.10:80> ServerName b.example.net DocumentRoot /var/www/html/site-b </VirtualHost> > The google searching I did seemed to come back with > "subdomain wildcards".

Doing things this way, Apache will pass along the domain name of the site to PHP. While there is a way to set things up so you can host a vast number of sites with very little configuration change [1], but the problem with that is that each host *must* have the same configuration; if you have to vary the configuration even a bit, then you can't use it (from my understanding). -spc (More on this at [2]) [1] http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/mass.html [2] http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
