Hi there, Sorry if this asked many times, I haven’t found. I have some domain(my.fancydomain.com) for my wordpress installation. But Id like to add another domain (my2.fancydomain.com). Both domains would show/serve the same www/ directory. I guess I have to edit vhost conf file. but it seems there are some other settings involved. Can you provide with step by step guid? Thank you

Hi!
First, you will need to point the second domain to your droplet. To do that, add an A DNS record with the name of my2.fancydomain.com. (with the trailing dot) and the value of your droplet’s IP address.
Then, you need to configure Apache to serve the right content on that domain. If you want both domains to serve the same files, you can just set up the second domain as an alias to the first domain. Edit your Virtual Host config file in
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled
and add the following line afterServerName my.fancydomain.com
:If a ServerAlias line already exists, you have to append the second domain to it instead:
Finally, restart Apache so that the changes take effect:
