Subdomain setup in apache not working, suspected conflict

  • 772

I've setup the following in my virtual hosts:

<VirtualHost app.pdf-edelivery.com>
ServerName app.pdf-edelivery.com
DocumentRoot /home/pdfedelivery/public_html/site
<Directory "/home/pdfedelivery/public_html/site/">
allow from all
Options +Indexes
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

The premise is that I want to redirect app.pdf-edelivery.com to the site/ folder. Here's the issue i'm facing. I think there is some sort of conflict. If you ping app.pdf-edelivery.com it resolves to the correct IP address of my server.

About 6 records above that record (in the httpd.conf file) there is this record:

<VirtualHost pdf-edelivery.net>
DocumentRoot /home/pdfedelivery/public_html
<Directory "/home/pdfedelivery/public_html">
allow from all
Options +Indexes
</Directory>
ServerAlias www.pdf-edelivery.net pdf-edelivery.net www.pdf-edelivery.com pdf-edelivery.com www.pdfedelivery.com pdfedelivery.com www.pdfedelivery.net pdfedelivery.net www.pdfedelivery.com.au pdfedelivery.com.au
</VirtualHost>

Which I am concerned is somehow conflicting with the above record. No matter how many times I restart apache, I can't get app.pdf-edelivery.com to go to the correct site (which you can currently see at pdf-edelivery.com/site/)

Any ideas what I am missing here?

subdomain apache-2.2 httpd.conf

  1. Try changing the <VirtualHost ... > statements to

    <VirtualHost *:80>

    which will have apache respond to incoming name based virtual hosts on post 80 for all available IP addresses.

    Check that you have a NameVirtualHost * (or similar) directive too

  2. You should try this syntax :

    <VirtualHost xx.xx.xx.xx:80> # where xx.xx.xx.xx is the IP you want Apache listen to.
ServerName pdf-edelivery.net
ServerAlias www.pdf-edelivery.net pdf-edelivery.net www.pdf-edelivery.com pdf-edelivery.com www.pdfedelivery.com pdfedelivery.com www.pdfedelivery.net pdfedelivery.net www.pdfedelivery.com.au pdfedelivery.com.au
DocumentRoot /home/pdfedelivery/public_html
<Directory "/home/pdfedelivery/public_html">
allow from all
Options +Indexes
</Directory>

</VirtualHost>
