I am trying to set up another website on a subdomain.
I have followed the tutorial and forum post below but got no results: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-apache-virtual-hosts-on-ubuntu-16-04 https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/how-do-i-add-sub-domain-and-make-it-point-to-a-certain-directory
I’ve a wordpress website running on /var/www/html. I have created another website on /var/www/sanaltur and created a apache config file as follows:
cat /etc/apache2/sites-available/sanaltur.tarikznursal.com.tr.conf
UseCanonicalName On
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@mydomain.com
ServerName sanaltur.tarikznursal.com.tr
ServerAlias sanaltur.tarikznursal.com.tr
DocumentRoot /var/www/sanaltur/
<Directory /var/www/sanaltur/>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Then I used:
- a2ensite sanaltur.tarikznursal.com.tr.conf
command to enable the conf file.
Still, I can’t reach to subdomain.
Thank you for your help

Hi there @altugguzeloglu,
The configuration looks all correct. What you need to do is also add a DNS A record for your subdomain name to point to your Droplet’s IP address.
Once you add the A record for your domain, it might take up to 24-48 hours for the DNS cache to clear over the Globe before you could see the actual DNS changes.
Let me know how it goes! Regards, Bobby
