Summary | |
========= | |
1) Create an A record for your sub-domain that points to your droplet | |
2) Create a .config file for your sub-domain site in /etc/apache2/sites-available | |
3) Create the directory for your site in /var/www (or wherever you said it was in the config file) | |
4) Enable the site in apache with: sudo a2ensite sub.yourdomain.com (or whatever you named your site in the config) | |
5) reload apache: sudo service apache2 reload | |
NOTE: the DNS record you create might take awhile to propagate | |
============================================================================================ | |
1). | |
In domain's DNS settings (e.g. digitalocean) | |
A--->demo.example.com.--->IPAddress (NOTE: there's a "." at the end of demo.example.com) | |
If using CDN (e.g. cloudflare) | |
A--->demo---------------->IPAddress [DNS & HTTP proxy(CDN)] | |
2). | |
/* make directory for a new subdomain or domain under the same directory as the original website or create one if not exists. */ | |
Examples: | |
sudo mkdir -p /var/www/example.com/ | |
sudo mkdir -p /var/www/demo-site/ (would become demo.example.com) | |
sudo mkdir -p /var/www/example2.com/ | |
/* grant permission to the new directory: */ | |
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /var/www/test.com/ | |
/* modify permissions to ensure that read access is permitted: */ | |
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www | |
/* Copy the default Virtual Host and Customize for Second(sub/new) Domain */ | |
clone existing 000-default.conf under /etc/apache2/sites-available/ | |
sudo cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-demo.conf | |
/* The new config file must be modifed something like below */ | |
sudo nano 000-demo.conf | |
<VirtualHost *:80> | |
<Directory /var/www/demo> | |
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews | |
AllowOverride All | |
Order allow,deny | |
allow from all | |
</Directory> | |
ServerName demo.example.com | |
ServerAlias www.demo.example.com | |
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost | |
DocumentRoot /var/www/demo | |
... | |
</VirtualHost> | |
NOTE: forgetting to do the step above will cause database or cache conflict. | |
after that, enable the New Virtual Host Files as below: | |
E.g: | |
sudo a2ensite example.com.conf | |
sudo a2ensite 000-demo.conf | |
then, reload apache | |
sudo service apache2 reload | |
