NameVirtualHost and dynamic subdomains on apache.
I am trying to get subdomains of virtual host domains working on my site.
I ahve enabled NameVirtualHost on my server via creating a file in the /etc/apache2/conf directory called virtual.conf with the contents of:
#
# We're running multiple virtual hosts.
#
NameVirtualHost *
i had created this file called www.XXX.com and placed it into the /etc/apache2/sites-available directory.
<VirtualHost *>
ServerAdmin webmaster@XXX.com
ServerName XXX.com
ServerAlias *.XXX.com
# Indexes + Directory Root.
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/websites/XXX.com/public_html/
# CGI Directory
# ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/html/websites/XXX.com/cgi-bin/
# <Location /cgi-bin>
# Options +ExecCGI
# </Location>
# Logfiles
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/www.XXX.com/logs/error.log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/www.XXX.com/logs/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
it seems that if i create a directory link like rid.XXX.com to the main directory XXX.com and add that to my host file...i am able to bring a webpage up. If i remove the directory link.....
i get page not found errror....
