Question

Proper way of setting up a subdomain on a https domain?

  • Posted on September 25, 2014

I have a https domain (https://wpqa.net) and I’d trying to add a subdomain demo.wpqa.net.

I think I’m lost somewhere as my subdomain is now pointing to the main domain, that is subdomain is having the same content as the main.

My /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default-ssl.conf is as follow

<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
	<VirtualHost *:80>
		ServerAdmin webmaster@WPQA
   		DocumentRoot /var/www/demo
   		Servername demo.wpqa.net
		ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
		CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
	</VirtualHost>
	
	<VirtualHost *:443>
		ServerAdmin webmaster@WPQA
   		DocumentRoot /var/www
   		Servername 104.131.35.241
   		ServerAlias WPQA www.WPQA

Not too sure if my config is right.

Any input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

First question: do you have NameVirtualhost enabled? I’m guessing this is ubuntu, so it should be. This means that you’ll want to modify your SSL domain to this:



<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName demo.wpqa.net
    ServerAlias www.demo.wpqa.net
    ServerAdmin webmaster@WPQA
    DocumentRoot /var/www/demo
    Servername demo.wpqa.net
    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

<IfModule mod_ssl.c> <VirtualHost *:443> ServerAdmin webmaster@WPQA ServerName wpqa.net ServerAlias www.wpqa.net DocumentRoot /var/www Servername 104.131.35.241 ServerAlias WPQA www.WPQA


This will tell the server "if they are asking for demo.wpqa.net, send them here"
