Create a Subdomain in Apache2

Let’s say you have a domain mywebsite.com and you want to add a subdomain blog.mywebsite.com. Here’s how to do it.

Create an apache config file:

touch /etc/apache2/site-available/blog.mywebsite.com
vi /etc/apache2/site-available/blog.mywebsite.com

Insert this configuration:

<VirtualHost *:80>
	ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

	DocumentRoot /var/www/blog.mywebsite.com
	<Directory />
		Options FollowSymLinks
		AllowOverride All
	</Directory>

	ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log

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

	CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Enable the new config

a2ensite blog.mywebsite.com

Put all files under /var/www/blog.mywebsite.com and done!

P/S : To remove a subdomain, run :

a2dissite blog.mywebsite.com
