Hi here is my /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default file:

Code: 
NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *>
    ServerAdmin admin@mysite1.com
    ServerName mysite1.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www
    <Directory />
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
    </Directory>
    <Directory /var/www>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all
    </Directory>

    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
    <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
        AllowOverride None
        Options ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>
    ServerAdmin admin@mysite2.com
    ServerName mysite2.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/mysite2com
    <Directory />

        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all
    </Directory>

    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/mysite2com/cgi-bin/
    <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
        AllowOverride None
        Options ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log

    # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
    # alert, emerg.
    LogLevel warn

    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined

</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>
    ServerAdmin admin@mysite2.com
    ServerName mysite3.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/mysite3com
    <Directory />
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
    </Directory>
    <Directory /var/www/mysite3com>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all
    </Directory>

    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/mysite3com/cgi-bin/
    <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
        AllowOverride None
        Options ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log

    LogLevel warn

    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
    ServerSignature On
</VirtualHost>

Now I want to add a sub-domain tomy 3rd site. Something like:

http://devel.mysite3.com

I have tried various combination but I am just unable to create this sub-domain.

Can someone please help me with this??

Do we need to enable any module in apache for doing this??

Thanks in advance,
Imoracle

You could add the ServerAlias directive to the vhost container that needs a sub-domain.

ServerAlias www.mysite3.com devel.mysite3.com <-- as many as you need - www is also a sub-domain usually simlinked to the main domain.

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#serveralias
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html

<VirtualHost *>
ServerAdmin admin@mysite3.com
ServerName mysite3.com
ServerAlias www.mysite3.com devel.mysite3.com forum.mysite3.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/mysite3com
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/mysite3com>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/mysite3com/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

Alternatively you can create a whole new container just for the sub-domain using the
ServerName devel.mysite3com
and including the ServerAlias directive also.

For search engine optimization the ServerName in all your containers can be www.domain.com which eliminates the need to do a redirect.
The ServerAlias would then have the main domain included - domain.com

<VirtualHost *>
ServerAdmin admin@mysite3.com
ServerName www.mysite3.com
ServerAlias mysite3.com www.mysite3.com devel.mysite3.com forum.mysite3.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/mysite3com
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/mysite3com>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/mysite3com/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Click to expand...
BTW - mysite3.com links to a free porn site! :naughty:

Rocky

Hi,

Thanks for your reply but for some reason I am unable to make the sub-domain.

Here is what I added:

Code: 
			 				<VirtualHost *>
    ServerAdmin [B]admin@mysite3.com[/B]
    ServerName devel.mysite3.com
    [B]ServerAlias devel.mysite3.com[/B]
    DocumentRoot [B]/var/www/mysite3com/devel[/B]
    <Directory />
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
    </Directory>
    <Directory [B]/var/www/mysite3com/devel[/B]>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all
    </Directory>

    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ [B]/var/www/mysite3com/devel/cgi-bin/[/B]
    <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
        AllowOverride None
        Options ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>

Can you kindly tell me where I am doing wrong?

I restarted the apache after making the above changes in the 000-default file.

Thanks,
Imoracle

Edit:
Your following post seems to say that the above is correct so I have no need to reply to your previous post - so I deleted what I had posted in reply as it was irrelevant and obviously no further help is needed by me.

I think my config was correct because if I go to my Windows XP host file and add my server's IP and sub-domain, like this

xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa devel.mysite3.com

And then I go to open it, it works perfectly. I guess its some propagation issue, or I need to add something to my CNAME settings.

Any idea over this, coz I can see I am able to connect and work well if I add the above params in my host config file, but as soon as I remove the settings, it again says server not found.
