Virtual hosts and subdomains, need configuring on live, not on dev
- by rix
I have a query about subdomains and virtual hosts.
On my dev server, I ca nset up a new virtual hosts and point it to a subdomain, ie:
newdomain.mydevserver.com
All is fine and I can access 'newdomain/mydevserver/com'
I can also do 'host newdomain.mydevserver.com'
However, when I do the same with my main server I get the server couldn't be contacted error - I'm guessing that's because i need a cname or a record for the DNS.
My question is, why does it seem that i can create subdomains on my dev but not on my live server?
Help appreciated, many thanks!
