I've installed DNN using the Installation Wizard (that was great, thanks), I'd like to set up different alias's.  Lets say my domain is http://www.mysite.com and my DNN portal in there.

I'd like to set up a subdomain through Webhost4life called http://subdomain.mysite.com. After setting it up in Webhost4life, I would then go into DNN as the 'Host' and create a new Parent Portal using the alias http://subdomain.mysite.com.

1- Am I doing this correctly?
2- When I set up the subdomain in Webhost4life, I would assume that I need to tell it to 'add subdomain' and set the target path to the directory where my DNN app is, which is the same http://www.mysite.com  Is this correct? Because is not working

Do i need to set up some permissions? or what do i need to add new parent portals?

because now if i try to access the new portal im getting this :S

Server Error in '/' Application.

Runtime Error

Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".

<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <customErrors mode="Off"/>
    </system.web>
</configuration>
