Hi!
So I have successfully added a DNS record for my subdomain. Now I have access to “blog.mydomainname.com”
I then created a new virtualhost for my subdomain in /etc/apache2/site-availables/000-default.conf :
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/blog/
ServerName blog.example.com
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/blog/error.log
</VirtualHost>
saved it and restarted apache.
But nothing changes… when I browse blog.mydomain.com it still shows my main website. Obviously i have created a new folder (“blog”) in /var/www and uploaded wordpress via FTP.
Am I missing something?
Thank you!

You need to create a new VirtualHost (new file)
Add
Change
sudo service apache2 restart
Here you go
I used another method but thank you for your time :) (it still doesn’t fully work though since I get a blank page)
Cheers
