I have a simple domain and want to add a subdomain to it for staging purposes. I have a droplet where I installed Apache and the regular domain "rainierlaan.nl" works perfectly fine. Now I want to add a subdomain "staging.rainierlaan.nl" but it returns a 404 Not found. What am I doing wrong?

First, these are my DNS records. I added *.rainierlaan.nl with the right IP-address (See below)

I went on the server and added staging.rainierlaan.nl within /etc/apache2/sites-available with the following:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName staging.rainierlaan.nl
    ServerAlias www.staging.rainierlaan.nl

    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    DocumentRoot /var/www/website_staging

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =www.staging.rainierlaan.nl [OR]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =staging.rainierlaan.nl
RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent]
</VirtualHost>

I’ve followed this tutorial to add a SSL certificate to that domain

And that all went fine but it said something already exists. I also followed this tutorial to add the domain.

I restarted apache using sudo systemctl restart apache but whenever I try to reach that domain it says 404 not found.

When I ping the domain it returns the right IP address and error.log return the following:

Error.log

What am I doing wrong? Am I missing something?
