Apache add subdomain

Question

I need to add a subdomain to this server, i added this

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html
    ServerName images.login.acorn.lt
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html
    ServerName login.acorn.lt
</VirtualHost>

config to /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and restarted with apachectl -k graceful , without error. But images.login.acorn.lt is down

Answer 1

In order to have images.login.acorn.lt to work you have to assign the same IP as login.acorn.lt (they have both to point to your address).

At the moment images.login.acorn.lt is not registered.

$ host login.acorn.lt
login.acorn.lt has address 79.98.30.58
$ host images.login.acorn.lt
Host images.login.acorn.lt not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

Answer 2

You have register your custom sub-domain name with dns registrar to make it it working. I mean you need a valid DNS record for your subdomain too. You can accomplish this by either setting up an individual DNS entry for each new subdomain, But every namebasedvirtualhost has to have a valid DNS entry. Moreover custom domain name must be allowed on server.For Custom sudomain domain name you have to specify and register proper dns.
