Apache2

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2

reinstall apache2

sudo apt-get --purge remove apache2*
sudo apt-get --purge autoremove
sudo apt-get install apache2

Check to make sure you have mod_rewrite enabled.

sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/subdomain.conf
sudo gedit /etc/apache2/sites-available/subdomain.conf

# $HOME$/www dir permision
sudo usermod -a -G www-data (your username)
sudo chgrp www-data /home/huzaifa/www
sudo chmod g+rwxs /home/huzaifa/www

<VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerAdmin admin@localhost
   ServerName  localhost

Enable dnsmasq in NetworkManager

Edit the file /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf, and add the line dns=dnsmasq to the [main] section, it will look like this :

[main]
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile
dns=dnsmasq

[ifupdown]
managed=false

[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no
Let NetworkManager manage /etc/resolv.conf

sudo rm /etc/resolv.conf ; sudo ln -s /var/run/NetworkManager/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
Configure test

echo 'address=/.test/127.0.0.1' | sudo tee /etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.d/example.com-wildcard.conf
Reload NetworkManager and testing

NetworkManager should be reloaded for the changes to take effect.

sudo systemctl reload NetworkManager
Then we can verify that we can reach some usual site :

dig askubuntu.com +short
151.101.129.69
151.101.65.69
151.101.1.69
151.101.193.69
And lastly verify that the test and subdomains are resolved as 127.0.0.1:

dig test askubuntu.test a.b.c.d.test +short
127.0.0.1
127.0.0.1
127.0.0.1
