directory must exist (or at least be a symbolic link that works)
change ip/port as necessary

Can be put into any host directive (inside /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf)
something like this...

<VirtualHost 192.168.100.8:80>
 
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/
 
        ServerAdmin craig at mydomain.com
        ServerName www.mydomain.com
 
        ServerSignature email
 
        DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm index.shtml
          
        TransferLog logs/access_log_adv
        ErrorLog logs/error_log_adv
 
        Redirect /mail https://www.mydomain.com/horde
 
</VirtualHost>
