 * I went into CPANEL…
    Add Subdomain… Named Subdomain: * It created a wildcard 
   setup… Went into my main WordPress Sites Dashboard… Create site… Name it : subdomain
   It created… Edit it… Change the domain to subdomain.domain.com It now points 
   correctly… HOWEVER… It points to an empty folder?! Am I supposed to place a copy
   of WordPress in that folder and do an install of WordPress to that folder now?
   I thought the Multisite would setup WordPress IN THAT Subdomain…?! Help!

 * Ok… Minor correction.
    I went into my WP-CONFIG.php file and adjusted the following…
 * SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL from FALSE to TRUE
 * I deleted the previous Site, tried to recreate it.
    It automatically makes it
   a Subdomain now… (awesome) However, I get a 500 error when trying to visit the
   Dashboard for it now…
