I Currently have a apache server running, with multiple sites in it i followed this tutorial, to setup everything, but i having a problem.
Lets say if you access my ip address like http://0.0.0.0 you will be redirected to example.com.
Now on my DNS settings off all my domains, a have the Following Configurations:
A @ | 0.0.0.0 CNAME * | @
Now lets say user access a anything.AnotherSiteOnSameHost.com, they will always see a page o example.com or http//0.0.0.0
Any ideas on how to fix that?
