Howdy,
Virtualmin handles sub-domains the same way it handles domains -- they are all just a type of site that points to /home/USERNAME/domains/DOMAIN_NAME.
So when you setup a new Virtual Server (or a sub-server), you can enter your sub-domain name, and then place your content in /home/USERNAME/domains/SUB_DOMAIN_NAME.

unfortunately that's now how i want things setup. I would like blogs.wthu.org to point to /public-html/wp is there no way to accomplish this with virtualmin? if so no prob i can work around it..:)
You can configure the website's document root in the server template for new domains, or in the Apache module later on.
ok so basically there's no way do what i want inside of the virtualmin interface itself....that's what i was looking for. Then the subserver functionality for me in this instance isn't going to work..:) NO problem..plan b it is..:)
Well, it depends what you exactly want to do in the Virtualmin interface. :) Admittedly, I did not fully understand what your aim is.
I just said. I want a sub server that points to the root public_html/wp instead of relocating things under its own folder. it otherwise known as sub-domain to folder. It's ok i'm just using the direct url www.wthu.org/wp instead..:)
Okay, you didn't explicitly say before that you want the sub-server to store its web files under the public_html of its parent. That is indeed not possible, Virtualmin always stores sub-servers in the "domains" folder of the parent's home.
You can still use your subdomain naming scheme though, leave the home directory of the sub-server empty, and create redirects in Apache instead.
