Virtualhost subdomain pointing to main domain (httpd)

Hey guys,

Okay I’m getting really frustrated w/ this issue. I have a domain “domain.com” and a subdomain “portal.domain.com”

My records are as follows:

A: @, IP A: portal, IP NS: the 3 default NSs.

My httpd.conf looks like this:

ServerRoot "/etc/httpd"
Listen 80
Include conf.modules.d/*.conf

User apache
Group apache

ServerAdmin root@localhost

NameVirtualHost *:80

ServerName www.domain.com
ServerAlias domain.com

This is the default httpd.conf that came w/ httpd on CentOS7. I haven’t modified it in anyway aside from adding the “NameVirtualHost *:80” line.

My additional conf file is in /conf.d/ and looks like this:

# --

# --
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName portal.domain.com
DocumentRoot "/opt/otrs/bin/cgi-bin/"

This is the default OTRS conf file aside from me adding the VirtualHost and the servername.

Using this setup, both the portal.domain.com and domain.com point to domain.com. I can’t access my OTRS from either location anymore using this setup. If I remove the VirtualHost info from the OTRS config file then I’m able to access the OTRS using domain.com/otrs/index.pl but both domain and subdomain still point to domain.com

Can someone please help me figure this out? Thank you!
