Hi everyone, I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help point out what I might have done wrong in trying to map a folder on our server i.e mywebsite.com/abc to a similarly named subdomain i.e abc.mywebsite.com. Here's what our Linode DNS entries look like: ------------------------------------------------------- DNS Manager » abc.mywebsite.coom SOA Record Primary DNS Email Default TTL Refresh Rate Retry Rate Expire Time Options ns1.linode.com me@myemail.com Default Default Default Default Settings NS Records Name Server Subdomain TTL Options ns1.linode.com abc.mywebsite.com Default Edit | Remove ns2.linode.com abc.mywebsite.com Default Edit | Remove ns3.linode.com abc.mywebsite.com Default Edit | Remove ns4.linode.com abc.mywebsite.com Default Edit | Remove ns5.linode.com abc.mywebsite.com Default Edit | Remove Add a new NS record MX Records Mail Server Preference Subdomain TTL Options mail.mywebsite.com 10 Default Edit | Remove Add a new MX record A/AAAA Records Hostname IP Address TTL Options 12.34.56.78 Default Edit | Remove mail 12.34.56.79 Default Edit | Remove Add a new A record CNAME Records Hostname Aliases to TTL Options www abc.mywebsite.com Default Edit | Remove Add a new CNAME record TXT Records Name Value TTL Options Add a new TXT record SRV Records Service Domain Priority Weight Port Target TTL Options ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ..and here's what the virtual hosts section of Apache config file looks like: <VirtualHost 12.34.56.78:80> ServerAdmin webmaster@mywebsite.com DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/mywebsite.com/httpdocs/ ServerName mywebsite.com ServerAlias http://www.mywebsite.com <Directory /var/www/vhosts/mywebsite.com/httpdocs/> AllowOverride all </Directory> Alias /webmail "/var/www/html/webmail/" Alias /postfixadmin "/var/www/html/postfixadmin" ErrorLog logs/mywebsite.com-error_log CustomLog logs/mywebsite.com-access_log common </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost 12.34.56.78:443> ServerAdmin webmaster@mywebsite.com DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/mywebsite.com/httpdocs/ ServerName mywebsite.com ServerAlias http://www.mywebsite.com <Directory /var/www/vhosts/mywebsite.com/httpdocs/> AllowOverride all </Directory> Alias /webmail "/var/www/html/webmail/" Alias /postfixadmin "/var/www/html/postfixadmin" ErrorLog logs/mywebsite.com-error_log CustomLog logs/mywebsite.com-access_log common SSLEngine on SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/mywebsite.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/private/mywebsite.key SSLCACertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/ssl123.crt </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost 12.34.56.78:443> ServerAdmin webmaster@mywebsite.com DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/mywebsite.com/httpdocs/ ServerName abc.mywebsite.com ServerAlias abc.mywebsite.com <Directory /var/www/vhosts/mywebsite.com/httpdocs/abc/> AllowOverride all </Directory> Alias /webmail "/var/www/html/webmail/" Alias /postfixadmin "/var/www/html/postfixadmin" ErrorLog logs/mywebsite.com.com-error_log CustomLog logs/mywebsite.com-access_log common SSLEngine on SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/mywebsite.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/private/mywebsite.key SSLCACertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/ssl123.crt </VirtualHost> --------------------------------------------------------------------- I copied the 3rd section of the virtual host section of our Apache config from the second section and made modifications to it. Thanks. |

The site just started resolving...but abc.mywebsite.com its resolving to mywebsite.com. I'm now thinking that there must be an issue with the Apache config file.. Can anyone help spot it? |

Check your DocumentRoot for abc. |

Hi Nibbler, Thanks for your response. I have changed document root to Code: /var/www/vhosts/mywebsite.com/httpdocs/abc and/or Code: /var/www/vhosts/mywebsite.com/httpdocs/abc/ and restarted the server a number of times. abc.mywebsite.com still resolves to mywebsite.com. Could there be other factors that could be responsible? e.g my DNS entries for creating this subdomain. Here's what my DNS entries look like: Code: DNS Manager » abc.mywebsite.coom Are you able to spot anything I might have entered wrongly? Thanks. |

RH19, I don't see a vhosts config for 12.34.56.78:80 for abc.mywebsite.com. Have you tried accessing it via https to see if the :443 config is working for abc.mywebsite.com ? MSJ |

Maybe you could obscure the PUBLIC DNS settings and the PUBLIC IP numbers even more to make it even harder to guess what's going on with your PUBLIC website. |
