point subdomain to folder

0	Lets say I have the domain xyz.com and I want point static.xyz.com to the folder xyz.com/static/. Is this possible? (I ask because I might want to use CDN in the future and it would be easier that way) domain subdomain asked 24 Jan '17, 08:19 robbyzob 41●3●14 accept rate: 100%

One Answer:

Sure, it's simple:

Create a "symbolic link to static-only" app via the control panel, using the full filesystem path to your static folder, eg /home/robbyzob/webapps/xyz/static, in the "extra info" field.
Create a new website via the control panel to serve the app you created in the last step on static.xyz.com.

Hope that helps!
