I have set up a Moodle server using its IP address. Moodle is in the default folder /var/www/html/moodle. Works fine.
I've set the A record of the subdomain: learn.subdomain.com to point to the IP address. I've changed config.php so that $CFG->wwwroot = 'http://learn.subdomain.com/moodle';... doesn't work.
(edit - could it be the DNS hasn't propagated properly yet?)
All I get is the screen below with no folder content.
Where have I gone wrong please?
Cheers

What was the URL (wwwroot) of the Moodle site when you used the IP address? Did it have /moodle on the end as well?
If you are already directing the ip address to the moodle folder, then you do not need to list the moodle folder in your dns name. Also, when you do get this right, you will need to run the replace tool on the database to update all references to the old wwwroot to the new one.
I'm thinking maybe check your Apache configuration files and make sure the ServerName directive is set to "learn.subdomain.com" and the document root is /var/www/html
If you want to avoid dns caching issues change your computers host file as that propagates instantly. Also, FYI for future, drop the domains TTL to 5 seconds before making changes in the future
