New subdomain and its directory
New subdomain and its directory
Basically title is pretty simple, yet my problem is kinda bigger.
First of all, few words about my current setup.
I got domain on OVH, lets say EXAMPLE.com. I use personalized DNS Servers pointing as follows:
ns1.EXAMPLE.COM and ns2.EXAMPLE.COM to IP Address of my VPS.
on my VPS there is bind9 server with kinda properly configured dns server (i believe so).
Created a domain with DNS Support: EXAMPLE.COM and it auto-created a directory: "/home/admin/web/EXAMPLE.COM/public_html/".
Whenever i go into my domain address - EXAMPLE.COM, i see properly contents of /public_html/
Now the trickier part.
Im creating the subdomain, lets say: TEST.EXAMPLE.COM, and similar from the example above, it creates the directory "/home/admin/web/TEST.EXAMPLE.COM/public_html/".
However 2 things that bothers me here:
1. When i use "http://test.example.com" in web browser, it returns me an error: "This webpage is unavailable. Ip couldnt be find, blah blah check ur dns servers etc."
2. When i use "http://www.test.example.com" in web browser, it actually shows me the site, however it shows the site from directory: "/home/admin/web/EXAMPLE.COM/public_html/".
It created the subdomain folder in /home/admin/web/, however its not using this directory, but the one for domain EXAMPLE.COM.
So basically 2 questions. What do i need to change to make my subdomains work WITHOUT "WWW" + Why it shows site from main domain, instead of subdomain.
Thanks in advance. Kinda bothering a lot with it.
(Still a bit newbie in all that dns'y stuff, yet in 2nd post will provide screenshots of my current configuration)

Re: New subdomain and its directory
Aint sure if there is anything else needed for configuration, so if anything comes to ur mind, ill provide more data.
Re: New subdomain and its directory
I wish i said "found solution", but apparently, it just started working. Was trying a bit more with DNS Records, adding weird stuff like "@ A 123.123.123.123", removed website, added again, and it works. No idea what fixed my issue, but prefer not risking bricking it again.
Re: New subdomain and its directory
Aaaand it stopped working again. I gont get it at all xD
