DNS subdomain syntax

Question

I have a subdomain bonify.archaeolabs.nl it points to my servers ipaddress (DNS) and shows the www.archaeolabs.nl page. I have another root directory for bonify.archaeolabs.nl, I have a bonify.archaeolabs.nl.conf file with the following:

<virtualhost*: 80>
ServerAdmin email_address
ServerName bonify.archaeolabs.nl
ServerAlias bonify.archaeolabs.nl
DocumentRoot /path/to/bonify.archaeolabs.nl

<Directory "/path/to/bonify.archaeolabs.nl/">
  Option FollowSymLinks
  AllowOverride All
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
</Directory>

Am I close or barking up the wrong tree?

Answer 1

Solved!

I needed to add the ipaddress and subdomain to the /etc/hosts file, now it works like a charm!
