Setup subdomain in digital ocean and namecheap

Posted on July 2, 2017

I had bought a domain in namecheap, and want to setting up my subdomain in digital ocean. Currently I only had one droplet and running ubuntu linux 14.04. My site was running in grunt at null:3000 which is localhost:3000. In apache2 conf, I had used proxypass redirect to my site. Right now, things are getting weird, my domain.com works yesterday, but today doesn’t work anymore.

/etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf used for mydomain.com /etc/apache2/sites-available/subdomain.mydomain.com.conf for subdomain. I had used a2ensite command to activate my subdomain, but the site doesn’t work, it show the site can’t be reached. Currently, both sites doesn’t work.
