    subdomain.domain.com >> /home/user/otherdir/test ???

    goal: subdomain.domain.com, which is actually located in a diff. subdir of /root
    technology: cpanel, .htaccess, whatever works.

    i'm still having problems trying to do this. i currently setup my subdomains in cpanel (i.e. test.domain.com). but it automatically creates the directory location as /home/user/test. just wondering if its possible/feasible to make that subdomain's directory located somewhere else (i.e. /home/user/subdir/test, or /home/user/test_project); and also have the ability to re-configure it in the future (persay via .htaccess).

    what steps do i take in order to achieve this great feat? TIA.

      Sounds to me like a job for httpd.conf, which i doubt you'll have access to here!
      You'd need to edit the Virtual Hosts configuration for the subdomain. You might be able to request support do it for you.
      Worth a try.

          yes, httpd.conf wouldn't be a solution. prolly by .htaccess... thats why i'm posting here to get users' feedback.

              I don't think its possible to add a <virtualhost> contained to a .htaccess file...
              Support should be able to change the subdomains location for you though i would imagine.

                  Never tried, but you always may set subdommain subdir.yourdomain.com and then create subdomain test under it. It will be then located in /home/user/subdir/test but accessible as http://test.subdir.yourdomain.com.

                  Then you park test.yourdomain.com on top of test.subdir.yourdomain.com

                  However I do not know why would you go through all that...
