Hi everyone,
I’ve been having a lot of issues with subdomain configuration in Apache. I’ve followed various tutorials but there must be something I’m doing wrong.
I want to configure talk.mydomain.com
My DNS configuration is as follows:
A Host: @ IP: my droplets IP
A Host: talk. (period after talk) IP: my droplets IP
CNAME Name: * Hostname: @
CNAME Name: *.talk Hostname: talk.mydomain.com. (period)
My apache configuration is as follows (this is the configuration file for the only enabled domain. mydomain.com and www.mydomain.com work fine)
ServerName mydomain.com
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin me@email.com ServerName mydomain.com ServerAlias www.mydomain.com DocumentRoot /var/www/mydomain.com/public_html </VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot /var/www/mydomain.com/public_html/talk ServerName talk.mydomain.com </VirtualHost>
Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance!

Hello,
The first thing that I notice is that you have a “talk” CNAME which is not needed because you are using " * to @ " which points all of your *.domain.com to your server. So you can remove the “talk” CNAME as it is not needed.
For the virtual host part I would read over the following site and follow STEP FIVE.
Make sure to enable the virtual host once you complete!
