Im trying to create a subdomain and the main domain is a wordpress site!
Whenever i try to configure as shown in digitalocean tutorials and same in all other tutorials to create a subdomain, my subdomain shows me the content of my main domain.
Eg: my main domain is “https://example.com” and i want to create “https://forum.example.com” but it shows me my root site
I edit the vhosts as per the tutorials but still no luck, take a look vhost file:
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin info@example.com ServerName hi.example.com DocumentRoot /var/www/hi.example.com/public_html
<Directory /var/www/hi.example.com/public_html/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Please someone help me, im trying this from weeks! Appreciate your help!
