Apache "www" Subdomains

:.:Numark:.: · 12-16-2009, 03:31 PM

Hello,

I have just setup a subdomain, say called "sub1.domain1.com" which works fine, but it doesn't work if I add a www, i.e. "www.sub1.domain1.com", how would I get it to work with it?

I don't know if these configs are correct or not but here they are:

DNS Config for sub1.domain1.com

Code:

www                     IN      CNAME   sub1.domain1.com
tweetsee                IN      CNAME   domain1.com
tweetsee                IN      A       12.34.56.78
tweetsee                IN      MX      sub1.domain1.com

VHosts Config

Code:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName sub1.domain1.com
ServerAlias sub1.*
ServerAdmin admin@domain1.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/domain1.com/sub1/public_html
</VirtualHost>

Thanks

not a networking question. moved to Linux - Server

Note that www.sub1.domain.com is *NOT* sub1.domain.com. it has a different name, so you'd need a different server alias. "www" means nothing particular at all to apache, it's just a convention.
