Virtual Hosts vs. Aliases vs. Sub domains
I'm stuck again. I have a domain name pointing to a server. On that
server, I want a subdomain under that domain name to point at a
different directory as such:
NameVirtualHost 10.0.0.14
<VirtualHost 10.0.0.14>
DocumentRoot /var/www/domain/html
ServerName www.domain.com
ServerAlias domain.com *.domain.com
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 10.0.0.14>
DocumentRoot /var/www/subdomain/html
ServerName subdomain.domain.com
</VirtualHost>
This *looks* like the given sample in the Apache documentation, but
it doesn't work when I type in subdomain.domain.com (Server not found
error). I do have other virtual hosts running just fine that are
other domains, if that makes a difference...

Woke up this morning with a clear head and made that same conclusion.
Thanks, Owen

Not sure about this - I always use FQDNs here (not wildcards) but, if
the wildcard works, this will make this VH trip on
"subdomain.domain.com"... Which is not what you want. I'd remove this
line for a start.

If you get this error, it's nothing to do with apache. It looks like
"subdomain.domain.com" is not defined in DNS. You can verify by looking
in the TransferLog file when you try the hit - if you don't see anything
(even an error) then you're not getting through to apache. Check this
first...
Rgds,
