Hello. I’m a bit new to all this so please bare with me. I’ve set up Dokku with a very simple rails app following: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-the-dokku-one-click-digitalocean-image-to-run-a-ruby-on-rails-app
The app is toy-app and I’ve set Dokku to use subdomain like this tutorial: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-the-digitalocean-dokku-application
My zone file is:
$TTL 1800
@ IN SOA NS1.DIGITALOCEAN.COM. hostmaster.minhn.net. (
1409595135 ; last update: 2014-09-01 18:12:15 UTC
3600 ; refresh
900 ; retry
1209600 ; expire
1800 ; ttl
)
IN NS NS1.DIGITALOCEAN.COM.
NS NS2.DIGITALOCEAN.COM.
NS NS3.DIGITALOCEAN.COM.
@ IN A 107.170.189.247
*.minhn.net IN A 107.170.189.247
toy-app IN A 107.170.189.247
sample-app IN A 107.170.189.247
*.toy-app CNAME toy-app.minhn.net.
*.sample-app CNAME sample-app.minhn.net.
I plan on having another app called sample-app and have sample-app.minhn.net go to that app. I want my minhn.net to lead to no where for now. But right now minhn.net and sample-app.minhn.net both goes to toy-app.minhn.net.
Why is this? Is it because the * A record I have? I thought that just meant anything before minhn.net would be forward to the ip but then dokku would check if it matches the subdomain name, if not it won’t serve the app?
Thanks for your time.

You need to modify the Virtual Host config file for toy-app, and put this in:
ServerName toy-app.minhn.net
ServerAlias toy-app.minhn.net
above < Directory >
Also, do the same for all other vhosts. When hosting more than one domain, it needs to know which vhost the config is for, or it goes to the default
If that doesn’t work, and you’re running CentOS/Fedora, edit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and uncomment
NameVirtualHost 80
reload/restart apache2/httpd, and you should be good.
