Virtualhost For Wildcard Subdomain and Static Subdomain

apache, subdomain, virtualhost, wildcard-subdomain

Solution

<VirtualHost *:80>
  DocumentRoot /var/www/app1
  ServerName app1.example.com
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
  DocumentRoot /var/www/example
  ServerName example.com
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
  DocumentRoot /var/www/wildcard
  ServerName other.example.com
  ServerAlias *.example.com
</VirtualHost>

Should work. The first entry will become the default if you don't get an explicit match. So if you had app.otherexample.com point to it, it would be caught be app1.example.com.

Problem

I have an odd situation where I want to have the URLs `app1.example.com`, `example.com` and `*.example.com` all using a different virtual host. This is what I have (excluding `example.com` because it just makes it messier). ``` <VirtualHost *> ServerName app1.example.com ServerAlias app1.example.com DocumentRoot = /var/www/app1 # Other configuration for this app here </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *> ServerName wildcard.example.com ServerAlias *.example.com DocumentRoot = /var/www/wildcard # other configuration for this app here </VirtualHost> ``` The problem is that they conflict. Whichever one is listed first wins out. How can I host both a wildcard virtualhost and a specific one? Note: I'm not just changing `DocumentRoot` in the config, so using `mod_rewrite` to change the DocumentRoot variable does not fix it.
