Am I missing something? It's not 100% clean, but it works. You do: <Virtualhost www.mydomain.com> ServerPath /mydomain </VirtualHost> All advertised URLs for your page say http://www.mydomain.com/mydomain If you don't want all URLs to say that, you can BrowserMatch for browsers which support Host: and only have the non-supporting ones say /mydomain on them. Then browsers who don't have Host: support will sent the /mydomain. Apache will see that and then use the www.mydomain.com configuration. This doesn't work in all situations, but it is a convenient workaround.
