Help to find the correct approach to a wildcard virtual host configuration

Hello, I am new in cpanel world and need help to solve a problem. I have the following scenario. We sell a product to many customers.... this system was confiured in a standalone machine (no cpanel)... I need to configure it in cpanel. the url for each customer is in the form etc. in the filesystem, each customer has a specific subdirectory for example: \ \customer1 \customer2 ..... \customerN I am trying to configure cpanel to handle this.... 1) First I configure a wildcard subdomain *.mycompany.com and points to / directory. 2) now I am trying to configure a special vhost configuration to be included that can do this apache command: VirtualDocumentRoot //%1/ But a don"t have success... I think that a .htaccess file can handle too, but I don"t have enough knowledge for this and don"t found any example in the web... some tutorials that I found are superficial. Can anyone help me ? Thank in advance. Rodolfo
