Hello,
I just installed Apache with PHP, MySQL and it works fine!

I got my website running working with a domain. But now i wish to have a sub-domain.
Can anyone help me? I am running on Ubuntu (Lucid).

Thanks!

I assume you want a seperate site on your sub-domain? Just add a virtualhost for the subdomain after pointing the A/AAAA records for your subdomain to your linodes IP(s)

Linode Manager -> DNS Manager -> your domain -> A/AAAA Records -> Add a new A record -> Hostname: subdomain.yourdomain.com IP Address: your linode's IP -> Save changes -> Configure a vhost in apache for your subdomain the same way you configured your main domain.

Thanks for replying. I will try the advice.

Problem Configuring Name-based Virtual Hosts.
When i installed the domain, I used Apache default settings/files.

Just now i tried to add another website (sub-domain), but there was a problem. When i type in the browser "www.domain.net" it loads the 'subdomain.domain.net" folder in the server not the "domain.net".

Domain.net

<VirtualHost 106.187.45.239:80>
     ServerAdmin seaarmy@live.com
     ServerName th-gaming.net
     ServerAlias th-gaming.net
     DocumentRoot /srv/www/th-gaming.net/public_html/
     ErrorLog /srv/www/th-gaming.net/logs/error.log
     CustomLog /srv/www/th-gaming.net/logs/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Subdomain.domain.net

<VirtualHost 106.187.45.239:80>
     ServerAdmin seaarmy@live.com
     ServerName minecraft.th-gaming.net
     ServerAlias minecraft.th-gaming.net
     DocumentRoot /srv/www/minecraft.th-gaming.net/public_html/
     ErrorLog /srv/www/minecraft.th-gaming.net/logs/error.log
     CustomLog /srv/www/minecraft.th-gaming.net/logs/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

A RECORDS

A/AAAA Records
Hostname   IP Address   TTL   Options

Any suggestions? I followed the guide from Linode.

Something is messed up in your DNS (or it just has propagated yet)

Also you don't need a "serveralias" if it's the same as "servername"

You don' t have a vhost entry for www.th-gaming.net

Did you remember to restart Apache after you changed the vhost config's?

I reload the server everytime i change the vHost.

Ok, I remove "ServerAllias" in both files.
And reloaded Apache again but this time with this error.

                                                                                    [ OK ]

I think it's because i accidentally remove the "default" files and then put this back instead, replacing it.

Might be because of the propagation.
Or do you want me to re-install everything? And do it again.
I kinda messed it up here.
