The Mana World Forums

(I'm not sure where to ask this)
I've noticed little to none documentation on how to setup the web-services needed to run an online server.
I have a tld and I don't understand how to configure a separate http://www.whatever.net and a updates.whatever.net and a server.whatever.net. ATM my page can be reached at http://digitalmasterminds.net, but wonder how to configure separate named servers. The documentation that I find is for host more the one actual domain on Apache. (I.E. a http://www.example.com and a http://www.2ndsite.com)

This seems to be the hardest part of setting up a server and someone with no experience with Apache can get pretty lost.
Is there something simpler that can be used instead in Linux?

Setting up sub-domains isn't exactly about the configuration of your webserver but rather about the configuration of the DNS server which manages your domain name. This server is usually managed by the ISP you are renting your domain from. Most ISPs allow to manage subdomains through a web interface on their support page.

But note that a Mana update-"server" does not necessarily need its own subdomain. It just needs a directory on your public homepage.

Turns out that i was just looking for any reason i was haveing such difficulties with this. It was a lockdown NAT redirection problem that it seems has upset many of the customers of my isp. I have to get a new one in my new location anyways. Seems alot of my config problems were caused by this and not how i was configuring things.
