This field:

Shows:

Name

Name of the subdomain.

URL

The Web address of the subdomain.

Example: http://sales.yourdomain.com

Owner

The name of the owner of the subdomain. Owners have complete control over a subdomain.

Document Root

The Document Root is the location from where the Web server will serve content to the browser. Content resources for a subdomain are located in the document root of the subdomain.

For example, if your subdomain files are placed in the document root - /usr/Web, then a request for http://www.sales.abc1.com/index.html will actually be sourced from the path - /usr/Web/index.html

CGI Support

A Boolean value [Yes,No] that indicates whether CGI support is enabled for the site.

CGI Script Directory

The directory path where CGI scripts for the site are placed. You can define scriptaliases for the CGI-BIN directory.

Aliases

Aliases are nicknames or alternative Web addresses that map to an existing subdomain. They are alternative access URLs that point to your subdomain. Subdomains inherit alias definitions from the parent domain.

For example, if the parent domain, www.yourdomain.com, with the associated alias, www.yourdomain.org, has a subdomain, http://sales.yourdomain.com, then if enabled to inherit aliases, this subdomain can also be accessed using the alias, http://sales.yourdomain.org.

DNS Entries

A Boolean value [Yes, No] indicating whether the subdomain is qualified by a DNS entry in the WEBppliance DNS server or a non-WEBppliance DNS server.
