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"
