[SOLVED] Domain A record on registrar to directory on server?

[PresFox]

Hello,

I bought a domain and put an A record there to redirect to the server. This works perfectly, but redirects to the main root. How can i point that domain to a specific folder on the server?

Regards

If I understand your question, this would be done on the server, using whatever web server you use to direct queries to the proper directory. If 1.2.3.4 goes to mysite.com, on 1.2.3.4, apache, for example, is running with a configuration file that says DocumentRoot is directoryX, the directory on the server containing your web site.

Hello,

I know, but i want to use a seperate directory for this domain.

I tried setting up a virtualhost file, but it doesnt seem to work, the domain still shows the main root of the server, instead of the directory i have specified in the virtual host.

NVM, i forgot to add:
IncludeOptional sites-enabled/*.conf

to the apache config. Working now
