Why is my Apache virtualhost showing the default page for Apache?

Question

I was wondering if im doing something wrong or what ? I have subdomain pointing to my server IP ( public ip of my server ) but when ever i go to my subdomain it show me the default page of Apache. Yes I'm using name virtual hosts but still nothing ...

For now i have put the page in the html directory, and it works ok but i think that is not the solution. And yes i can point my subdomain to subdomain.domain.com/thepage but this i don't want to do. And here is what i have in conf. part

    NameVirtualHost *:80
    <VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName    subdomain.domain.com
    DocumentRoot  /var/www/
    ServerAlias   www.subdomain.domain.com
    </VirtualHost>

Any suggestion ?

This is what i've got ..

NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName    domain.com
DocumentRoot  /var/www/ - here is domain.com ( there is directory named ivan )
ServerAlias   www.domain.com
</VirtualHost>

NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName    subdomain1.domain.com
DocumentRoot  /var/www/ - and here is subdomain1.domain.com - directory named sub1
ServerAlias   www.subdomain1.domain.com
</VirtualHost>

NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName    subdomain2.domain.com
DocumentRoot  /var/www/ - and here is subdomain2.domain.com - directory named sub2 ( And I don't know if they need to be the same name as the address or ??? sometimes I'm confused about that. )
ServerAlias   www.subdomain2.domain.com
</VirtualHost>

And all i got is default page of Apache ...

Answer 1

You need to modify the root directory for your virtual host. Otherwise you will have a subdomain which will show exactly the same data as your main domain.

For subdomain.domain.com you should set the DocumentRoot of the subdomain to DocumentRoot /var/www/page1 and for subdomain2.domain.com to DocumentRoot /var/www/page2 etc.

Your configuration should look like this:

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName    domain.com
  ServerAlias   www.domain.com
  DocumentRoot  /var/www/ivan # absolute path to your web root
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName    subdomain1.domain.com
  ServerAlias   www.subdomain1.domain.com
  DocumentRoot  /var/www/sub1 # absolute path to your web root
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName    subdomain2.domain.com
  ServerAlias   www.subdomain2.domain.com
  DocumentRoot  /var/www/sub2 # absolute path to your web root
</VirtualHost>
