Asked by jkingar0und
I have a droplet that is running multiple sites and subdomains using Apache2 and Virtual hosts following a DigitalOcean tutorial. However, I’m trying to add a new subdomain and the A record does not seem to be working and running apache conf test i don’t get any errors. Any ideas what it might be?

Hello,
Can you please confirm when did you make the DNS change for this subdomain? Note that it could take from 2 up to 24/48 hours for the DNS cache to clear over the globe.
In the meantime you could use your local hosts file to skip the DNS lookups for this domain name.
Also as a side note, did you restart Apache after the changes?
Hope that this helps! Bobby
