I'm trying to get subdomains working in Apache, but it won't work for me. I've already tryed Virtualhost For Wildcard Subdomain and Static Subdomain. My code for now:

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /Bestanden/webserver/vandervoorden.com/other
ServerName other.vandervoorden.com
ServerAlias *.vandervoorden.com
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /Bestanden/webserver/vandervoorden.com
<Directory "/Bestanden/webserver/vandervoorden.com">
allow from all
Options +Indexes
</Directory>
ServerName vandervoorden.com
</VirtualHost>

The second VHost will react on vandervoorden.com and www.vandervoorden.com, but when I browse to didntexist.vandervoorden.com I recieve a page not found.

you need to configure your dns to return an ip for didntexist.vandervoorden.com

$ dig didntexist.vandervoorden.com A

; <<>> DiG 9.8.3-P1 <<>> didntexist.vandervoorden.com A

  • I'm sorry for the confusion, but I think this is not what I want. My intention is to catch all requests that has no existing subdomain. So, when only me.vandervoorden.com is a existing subdomain, only that one goes to ../vandervoorden.com/me and the rest of the subdomain requests (for example fsfsd.vandervoorden.com) goes to ../vandervoorden.com/other – user2582992 Jul 15 '13 at 10:27

    then you need a wildcard on the dns level as well. the browser will not even know what server to contact without a dns record, so your apache will never be reached, so no chance to do anything on this level. this needs to be fixed on the dns level. – mnagel Jul 15 '13 at 10:28
