How to serve dynamic subdomains to a folder located within docroot using vhosts

I have tried using Mod Rewrite via .htaccess to solve this issue to no avail.

So I will ask if it can be accomplished via Vhosts.

This is CentOS7 using Apache.

I have a domain, call it mydomain.com. It is sitting in (docroot)

Users are created dynamically within a folder of (docroot) called Users. So for example, user 'xxx' would sit in the folder (docroot)/Users/xxx, and user 'yyy' would sit in (docroot)/yyy , and so it goes...

What I am trying to do, so far to no avail, is to find a way to direct subdomain traffic to xxx.mydomain.com and serve the contents of (docroot)/Users/xxx , or yyy.mydomain.com serves (docroot)/Users/yyy etc, etc.

Where in comparison, if I direct traffic to mydomain.com simply to (docroot)

So mydomain.com points to /var/www/html and xxx.mydomain.com should point to /var/www/html/Users/xxx

The problem is if I use .htaccess it wants to change xxx.mydomain.com to mydomain.com/Users/subdomain. This is not what I am looking for.

It needs to retain the xxx.mydomain.com , so no rewriting of the url , while serving the appropriate directory, which is /var/www/html/Users/xxx

Any help would be appreciated. Any clarification can be given

I have tried modifying the .htaccess file to no end

So far I have tried this as my conf file but to no end.

<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName dev.mydomain.com ServerAlias dev.mydomain.com DocumentRoot /var/www/html/mydocroot </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *.80> ServerAlias *.dev.mydomain.com VirtualDocumentRoot /var/www/html/mydocroot/Users/%0 </VirtualHost> 

I am very curious as to what I am doing wrong
