[Charlug] subdomain help/explanation

[Rick Pasotto]

How do I set up a subdomain? Example:

domain.com is a valid funtioning domain on my machine with root at
/var/www/com/domain.

I create a subdirectory /var/www/com/domain/sub

Godaddy wants to know where to redirect sub.domain.com. Do I tell them
http://domain.com/sub?

What do I put in the apache sites-available file for the subdomain?

I would like sub.domain.com to act just like a totally separate website.
In other words, the address bar should have: http://sub.domain.com
