Creating a subdomain in Apache

[bkm]

In apache to i just make a virtual host? I need a subdomain.mydomain.com, and also how does the DNS work alongside that? Do I need to setup a zone for it since its a subdomain?

Hi,

Create your subdomains own VirtualHost container with it's own document root.

Example Named Vhost ~

<VirtualHost 11.22.33.44>
DocumentRoot /www/domain
ServerName www.domain.tld
...
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 11.22.33.44>
DocumentRoot /www/sub
ServerName www.sub.domain.tld
ServerAlias sub.domain.tld
...
</VirtualHost>


For the dns simply add an A record for your subdomain in your existing zone file for your domain.

sub.domain.tld. IN A x.x.x.x
