I have a domain in my HOSTS file;

www.mytestbusiness.com

However, I want to convert some folders into subdomains automatically, e.g.

• www.mytestbusiness.com/birmingham

• www.mytestbusiness.com/london

which should be:

• www.birmingham.mytestbusiness.com

• www.london.mytestbusiness.com

Only for some folders do I want to keep it as a domain/folder link, e.g.

www.mytestbusiness.com/styles/

I don't want the CSS folder becoming a subdomain, or certain folders like cgi-bin, dwoo etc. (dwoo contains the site templates!)

I am running Apache 2.2 on Windows 7 Home Edition, and the site has no issues, it's just creating subdomains in .htaccess without having to manually declare them which is the problem.

What's the best way to do this, other than manually declaring them in httpd-vhosts.conf as I used to do?

Thanks
