Apache and subdomain

English Network/Internet
#1

Hi,

I want to have an additional subdomain like this:

mydomain.com
sub.mydomain.com

The problem is that sub.mydomain.com can’t be resolved (gives an “address not found” error when opening in FF).
The “normal” domain mydomain.com is working. I can also ping the subdomain.

In vhosts I have sub.mydomain.com.conf:


<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@mydomain.com
    ServerName mydomain.com
    DocumentRoot /srv/www/htdocs
    HostnameLookups Off
    UseCanonicalName Off
    ServerSignature On

    <Directory "/srv/www/htdocs">
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@sub.mydomain.com
    ServerName sub.mydomain.com
    DocumentRoot /srv/www/vhosts/sub.mydomain.com
    HostnameLookups Off
    UseCanonicalName Off
    ServerSignature On

    <Directory "/srv/www/vhosts/sub.mydomain.com">
	Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
	AllowOverride None
	Order allow,deny
	Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

There is an index.html file in both directories /srv/www/htdocs/index.html and /srv/www/vhosts/sub.mydomain.com/index.html

listen.conf:


NameVirtualHost *:80

/etc/hosts:


127.0.0.1       localhost
1.2.3.4	        mydomain.com
1.2.3.4	        sub.mydomain.com

Is there anything I’m missing ?

Thanks a lot !

well the line in etc/hosts is incorrect. Aliases should be on the same line:
1.2.3.4 myserver.com second.server.com third_server.com

only the first line ip address is read when there is an inquiry therefore it will never get to the second line.
