Post subject:  how to setup subdomains
Sorry but I couldn't find any help on other topics.

I am a newby owning a linode and would like to know how to setup subdomains.
Having my main domain, http://example.com, properly running I added an entry in the A records like subdomain (linode dns manager).
The idea is to get http://subdomain.example.com showing a different site than the one presented with http://example.com

I setted up a couple of virtual servers in apache2 pointing to the destination directories pending on the NameVirtualHost directive.

Now the issue is that I get the same contents (the subdomain ones) both directing the browser to the main and the subdomain sites...

what am I doing wrong?

thanks a lot in advance to anyone helping me!

You said you already set up the vhosts. Just copy/paste that...

That just might be your problem, then. From what I understand from the Apache manual, NameVirtualHost needs to be an IP address or an IP adress with a port specification (either can be just a "*" to denote all possibilities).

Since you've already used "NameVirtualHost *" in the default file, you don't need to set it again. Just do it like this for your subdomain:

Code:
<VirtualHost *> 
        ServerAdmin ugo@progesoft.com 
        ServerName progesoft.grandolini.info 
        ServerAlias www.progesoft.grandolini.info 

DocumentRoot /home/www/progeSOFT 
        <Directory /> 
                Options FollowSymLinks 
                AllowOverride None 
        </Directory> 
        <Directory /home/www/progeSOFT/> 
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews 
                AllowOverride None 
                Order allow,deny 
                allow from all 
        </Directory> 

        ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ 
        <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin"> 
                AllowOverride None 
                Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch 
                Order allow,deny 
                Allow from all 
        </Directory> 

        ErrorLog /home/www/log/progeSOFT/apache2-error.log 

        # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit, 
        # alert, emerg. 
        LogLevel warn 

        CustomLog /home/www/log/progeSOFT/apache2-access.log combined 
        ServerSignature On 

    Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/" 
    <Directory "/usr/share/doc/"> 
        Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks 
        AllowOverride None 
        Order deny,allow 
        Deny from all 
        Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128 
    </Directory> 

</VirtualHost>
