How can i point a subdomain to directory?

Please describe the exact action and effect that you want so that we know how to approach the issue.

For example, "http://www.mydomain.com roots at /www/folder.  I want http://bucky.mydomain.com to root at /www/folder2."

I want to point the subdomain https://shop.exemple.com to folder htdocs/shop
I use xampp, and i tried with vhosts but the program says:

" Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly.
This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies,
improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method.
Press the Logs button to view error logs and check
the Windows Event Viewer for more clues

The code in vhosts that i used is:

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot “E:/SERVER-XAMPP/xampp/htdocs/subdomain”
ServerName subdomain.localhost
</VirtualHost>

Ok, but if i will make a www. and a costom. subdomain how can i define this in the same vhosts file... ?
Ok i see found how to make, thanks...

On my own system I "deprecate" the default server (this eliminates bots and scrapers trying to scan IP addresses en bloc), then add real, functioning vhosts as include files in the httpd.conf, as follows:

# ========================================================
#
#                 DEFAULT VIRTUAL HOST
#
# ========================================================


#
# IP address[:port] for name-based virtual hosts
#
NameVirtualHost *:80

#
# This VirtualHost is used for requests with no server name.
#
<VirtualHost *:80>

#
# Set default root and access allowed
#
DocumentRoot /www/localhost
<Directory /www/localhost>
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
  Options none
  AllowOverride none
</Directory>

#
# Send logging to trash
#
CustomLog /dev/null locallog

# Redirect any request to "no site here" file
RewriteEngine On
RewriteLogLevel 0
RewriteRule .* /standard.html [L]

</VirtualHost>


# ========================================================
#
#                 VIRTUAL HOST INCLUDES
#
# ========================================================


#
# 1: server1.(whatever)
#
Include conf/server1.conf


#
# 2: server2.com
#
Include conf/server2.conf
