Apache2 virtualhost ServerAlias not working

Question

I am using Laravel 5.4 .(Apache 2.4.8)

/etc/hosts:

127.0.0.1 project.local

/etc/apache2/sites-available/project.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/project/public
ServerName project.local
ServerAlias *.project.local
<Directory /var/www/html/project/public>
   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
   AllowOverride all
   Order Deny,Allow
   Deny from all
   Allow from all
</Directory>

commands:

sudo nano /etc/hosts
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/project.conf
sudo a2ensite project.conf
sudo service apache2 reload

project.local ~> Works

somesubdomain.project.local or www.project.local ~> Not working .

Any help ? Thanks.

You still need to add an entry in your hosts file for every subdomain you want to hit:

/etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 project.local www.project.local somesubdomain.project.local

Please note that the hosts file does not support wildcard domains. For example:

127.0.0.1 *.project.local # WILL NOT WORK

There is another answer on stackoverflow here that suggests using DNSMASQ to achieve what you are trying to do. Otherwise you may want to consider setting up a DNS server. (See BIND or PowerDNS). Depending on how much network access you have, your router may be able to help out too.

Thanks for comment . But still not working . This site can’t be reached ERR_ICANN_NAME_COLLISION – TodOd Khurelbaatar Sep 10 '17 at 13:05
Can you be more explicit about what isn't working? Is Apache sending you to the content of the wrong domain? Is the host simply not found? – AJ X. Sep 10 '17 at 13:05
Sorry bad english . I want to create subdomain in Laravel dynamically? – TodOd Khurelbaatar Sep 10 '17 at 13:08

@TodOdKhurelbaatar updated answer. Probably not the answer you wanted, but should at least set you in a working direction. – AJ X. Sep 10 '17 at 13:24
