Need Help Pointing a Subdomain

Hi there,

I'm still getting familiar with Dreamhost so sorry if this question has been asked before.

Anyway, I have a domain, let's call it xyz.com. I installed phpbb with one click (nice and easy!), it's up and running just fine. However, it's installed in xyz.com/forums/.

So I created a subdomain, forums.xyz.com. How can I point forums.xyz.com to xyz.com/forums/index.php while retaining the subdomain in the address box?

Thanks for your time.

Setup your subdomain as a "fully hosted" domain and set the "Web Directory" to "/home/username/xyz.com/forums/"...
