Question

Setting up a sub domain to point to a different droplet

Posted April 29, 2015 4k views

Hi

I have a domain that it is pointed to one droplet, and I would like to create a subdomain that will point to a different droplet, is this possible?

This is my current dns settings: Screenshot

I tried creating a CNAME with the domain ‘dev’ and entered the domain, but that didn’t work, I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong, but I’m still new to the whole dns thing

And here is my .conf file (on the other droplet, not the main)
http://178.62.26.90/ben/passion4web.conf

Any ideas?

The configuration you have should route requests for dev.passion4web.co.uk to 178.62.26.90 and requests for www.passion4web.co.uk or passion4web.co.uk to 178.62.83.208

If you just made this most recent change you may need to allow a bit of time for cached DNS results to be updated with the DNS server your Internet connection is using.
