How to host a subdoman and main domain in a same droplet?
I have a droplet in Ubuntu 14.04,what I want to do is create a subdomain and host it in the same droplet.
My main domain : example.com
Subdomain created : api.example.com
*What I tried so far: *
1) Created a “A” record for api.example.com in Networking section
2) Created a CNAME record for www.api.example.com
3) Set up the virtual host for api.example.com following this How To Set Up Apache Virtual Hosts on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
*Below is the step I tried to set up the virtual host *
1) The droplet is installed Apache2 before,so I didnt install again
2) Create the directory for my api.example.com by using this command
sudo mkdir -p /var/www/api.example.com/public_html
3) Create a demo page by using this command nano /var/www/api.example.com/public_html/index.html
and add a simple html code inside it .
4) I copy the 000-default.conf to my new created conf like this
sudo cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/api.example.com.conf
5) I change the api.example.com.conf to the following:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin myemailaddress@example.com
ServerName api.example.com
ServerAlias www.api.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/api.example.com/public_html
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
6) Lastly I use this command to enable the virtual host for api.example.com sudo a2ensite api.example.com.conf
and restart the apache by sudo service apache2 restart
After all this step, I test my subdomain,but it doesnt work.It said refused to connect
so what I missing here?? Can somebody help??
