howto: subdomain for media uploads     rev 22 may 2019

> wp-config | issues | sources

.......................................................
wp-config.php

define('UPLOADS', 'http://images.mydomain.com/uploads');

   but (see Codex info below), i'm thinking it has to be 
     something like:
define('UPLOADS', '../../../Subdomains/media/www/uploads');
     but then how to make WP make the src to the file?
     i think has to be the database way (below).
   or maybe:
define (‘MEDIA_HOST’, ‘http://media.yourdomain.com’);
    can't find *anything* on duckduckgo search for this
       wordpress +wp-config.php +MEDIA_HOST
       or google search
       wordpress "wp-config.php" "MEDIA_HOST"
       MEDIA_HOST site:codex.wordpress.org
       where did i see it to begin with?

  * in wp-options table:
      upload_path	    /home/server_root/publich_html/img
	  upload_url_path	https://img.yourdomain.com
      I think this is the way to do it.

  * The Codex:
	- This path can not be absolute. It is always relative to 
        ABSPATH, therefore does not require a leading slash. 
    - must be added before the line 
        require_once(ABSPATH.’wp-settings.php’);.

  * Make sure the uploads folder is writable.
