Question

I have setup subdomains using Apache before and have never really ran into any big problems. But with this (I believe Centos) server that is one of my clients, I'm not understanding what I'm doing wrong. Here is the .conf that apache is loading:

Listen 80
NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName www.thedomain.com
    DocumentRoot /u1/thedomain.com/public
    RailsEnv production
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName subdomain.thedomain.com
    DocumentRoot /u1/subdomain.thedomain.com/public_html
</VirtualHost>

When I access either the primary or subdomain addresses, they both point to the primary www.thedomain.com content. Any thoughts?

UPDATE:

Yes I did a configtest and graceful after making the changes.

Answer 1

Have you made sure to reload Apache after making the change?

Edit: Sometimes graceful doesn't perform properly, do an apachectl restart.

Answer 2

Listen 80 ServerName www.mydomain.com:80 DocumentRoot "/www/tomcat/webapps" Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Order allow,deny Allow from all Options ExecCGI

NameVirtualHost *:80 ServerName blog.mydomain.com DocumentRoot /www/blog DirectoryIndex index.php index.html Options All AllowOverride All Allow from all

on ssl.conf I have: *Listen 443 *

Now if I access mydomain.com or blog.mydomain.com both are forwarded to /www/tomcat/webapps

any idea where I went wrong? I have source complied Apache2

Thanks, Anpl
