Wilcard sub domains where do I insert ServerAlias?

[zaz! Interactiv]

I am tried to setup a wildcard subdomain through the normal way (httpd settings in admin panel) but only my wildcard subdomains would work and my actual subdomains would not. Where should I enter
ServerAlias *.|DOMAIN| into the code below to make both wildcard and normal subdomains work?


<VirtualHost 67.23.167.171:80>

ServerName www.ruddo.com
ServerAlias www.ruddo.com ruddo.com
ServerAdmin webmaster@ruddo.com
DocumentRoot /home/ruddocom/domains/ruddo.com/public_html
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/ruddocom/domains/ruddo.com/public_html/cgi-bin/

UseCanonicalName OFF

SuexecUserGroup ruddocom ruddocom
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/domains/ruddo.com.bytes bytes
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/domains/ruddo.com.log combined
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/domains/ruddo.com.error.log

<Directory /home/ruddocom/domains/ruddo.com/public_html>

<IfModule !mod_php6.c>
php_admin_flag safe_mode OFF
</IfModule>
php_admin_value sendmail_path '/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -f ruddocom@ruddo.com'



</Directory>



</VirtualHost>

you would add:



ServerAlias www.ruddo.com ruddo.com *.ruddo.com


and then make sure you have the appropriate A Record in your DNS zone.

I tried that already. Do I have to move the virtualhost for the subdomain above the one for the main domain?

[ranz]

That allows for any "subdomain" on the main TLD to load the main website. Is that what you're after - or something else?

If you add a subdomain via the DA CP, you will notice that it adds it's own separate <VirtualHost> record for both :80 and :443 (SSL). If you want this level of control, perhaps you could try adding a fixed subdomain and edit that particular <VirtualHost> record to your liking.

That is the correct behavior. Wildcard means you want EVERY subdomain to go a certain place. You can't have it both ways.

I believe there are tricks to make it work but not reliably for a novice. You would have to maintain the configuration manually and not use DirectAdmin to do it.
