Hi all,

Forgive me if this is slightly off-topic, but I wonder if I could trouble you for some advice about setting up website subdomains with Apache. I currently have a website up and running on a jailed VPS; I've been trying to set up subdomains so that one might navigate to a certain area of the site by using a URL of the form blog.mywebsite.net rather than mywebsite.net/blog.

I've tried reading the official Apache documentation and a number of tutorials that I've found online, but nothing I've tried has worked so far. Do Virtual Hosts behave differently if they're within a jail? Or do I need some sort of DNS registration for subdomains? I've been trying to figure it out by myself, with little success so far - I'm quite new to this.


If you post a sample virtualhost config people can comment and point out suggestions.. (there's a couple of ways to do it.)

yes, you need subdomains to have DNS entries ( or hosts file entries at the least).

Jails will be irrelevant, other than ensuring that the IP for the virtual host, and the jailed apache is correct/reachable.

Paul.

Thanks for your help,

David
