Disculpen, Disculpen, Dispulpen. Sorry, sorry and sorry. My english is too elemental, so let ask you whit all my mistakes...

What is a sud-domain and how it work? I'm an absolutly beginer in this world (also english world). I have got a experimental web and I'm traing to undestand and learn about how make a sud-domain, but I'm really getting circus!!! Why if a maked a sud-domain address, called blog.perlanegra.it, it some time give me a error 404 or 403?

A subdomain is a division of a larger domain. For example instead of pickles.com, a subdomain would be ilove.pickles.com

In DA, is loaded out of a directory of the larger domain. In other words it can be accessed through both ilove.pickles.com and pickles.com/ilove
So after creating your subdomain, you would upload your files to the ilove directory.
The absolute path may look something like this:
/home/username/domains/pickles.com/public_html/ilove/

I Undestand this! but; Who can explain to me why when I inserted into the
browser the direction www.perlanegra.it/blog, appears to me a message
that I have previously programmed like automatic answer and that
must be exposed in replacement to the tipic "Forbbiden Error 403",
but in time when I write in browser the direction http://blog.perlanegra.it,
instead of appearing the programmed message, it appears however the
tipico "Forbbiden Error 403" ?

This has be translated with translator machine.

Gracias for any post-back.

What should be seeing when we go to:

http://www.perlanegra.it/blog/

I'm seeing:

error 403
Aqui no se sabe que sucede

Is that what I should be seeing?

And what should I be seeing when I go here:

http://blog.perlanegra.it/

Should I be seeing the following error:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/1.3.33 Server at blog.perlanegra.it Port 80

Or should I be seeing something else?

When you write code or html to appear in a subdomain you must write it using a subdomain URL; it may then not work as a subdirectory.

And vice versa, when you write code or html to appear in a subdirectory you must write it using a subdomain URL; it may then not work as a subdirectory.
