Hi,

First, I do apologise if this is badly written, or if I'm not explaining myself clearly - I have barely had any sleep since wednesday, and still have loads to do.

I would like to know how to get a subdomain like blog.example.com to point to a folder, say /public_html/blog

I have managed to get blog.example.com to point to example.com/blog, however this looks a little unprofessional as you get bounced around from redirect to redirect.

I would like to keep the subdomains as they are (so it goes from blog.example.com to blog.example.com/media/file.jpg or the like)

Ta

Have you seen this?

http://codex.wordpre...s_Own_Directory

But I don't know if it removes the subdomain once it redirects

That's not for a subdomain, that just relocates the files into a separate folder.
(And anyway, I'm not using a blog/wordpress, I just want to know what to do in cPanel!)

I need to have it so that, for example, I can have example.com, and also blog.example.com/shop.example.com/portal.example.com
(They're all examples by the way!)

Thanks

When you create a subdomain in cPanel, you can choose the directory where it'll point to.  And when I create one, and point it to public_html/test (example), it keeps the subdomain in the URL in my browser just fine, so I'm confused now

What Lucas said.

You can change the Document Root when you create the subdomain.

Ah, thanks

Makes sense now, it was probably just me being a little bit of a fool!
