Can anyone tell me how to configure apache to not display a website folder name at the end of a base URL, please? - but only for one out of many websites.

Let me describe the scenario ...

I have a test server with a number of websites in separate folders inside /var/www. Because it a test server, I am accessing it via it's IP address(64.244.144.78). So I would access a website via 64.244.144.78/a_website_folder

The trouble began when I needed one of the sites, which is called applications, to have a sub-domain name of applications.ourorganisation.org instead of using the IP Address format as above.

The sub-domain was created by our IT guy on our currently existing windows server. He then pointed the sub-domain at my Linux test server's IP address of 64.244.144.78 (apparently he could not add the subdirectory information leading to the applications website).

To counter this problem, I created an index.php file in 64.244.144.78/var/www and used PHP code to redirect to the applications website folder.

All that worked but I now when I visit applications.ourorganisation.org, I am redirected to applications.ourcompany.org/applications.

It not a disaster but I would like to NOT have the applications folder name at the end.

Any help, please ???
