I’m on an ubuntu server and using apache. I’ve set several domains on my droplet but when I tried to access www.seconddomain.com it is redirected to firstdomain.com, as so the other nextdomain.com.
without any CNAME I can access the other sites normally. But then I want to create an A record type subdomain, test.firstdomain.com to access root directory /var/www/test. And its the same problem again, it shows the page of firstdomain.com.
My setting is,
www.firstdomain.com. 1800 IN CNAME firstdomain.com.
*.codemastery.net. 1800 IN CNAME codemastery.net.
test.firstdomain.com. 1800 IN A 128.199.81.1
for the conf file I am creating new file on sites-available test.firstdomain.com.conf then add it with a2ensite…
Any help is appreciated, thanks

Take a look at your apache.conf (CentOS: httpd.conf), located in /etc/apache2/conf or /etc/httpd/conf. Almost at the end file you will find something about VirtualHost (NameVirtualHost to be precise). Perhaps this is still commented? If so, please uncomment en restart apache.
