Hello,


I am having a hard time running my application (built on laravel 5.4) on a wildcard subdomain that I have setup on my local machine (running Apache 2.4.18 on Linux Mint 18.1)


So, I have setup a vhost (domain.app) and a subdomain (sub.domain.app) for it and my apache vhost file looks like the following:

Code:

# This is for the primary domain (domain.app)
<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName  domain.app

        ServerAlias www.domain.app


        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html/test/domain.app/public

        <Directory /var/www/html/test/domain.app/public>
            Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
            AllowOverride All
            Require all granted
        </Directory>

        <IfModule mod_dir.c>
            DirectoryIndex index.php index.pl index.cgi index.html index.xhtml index.htm
        </IfModule>

</VirtualHost>

# This is for the subdomain (sub.domain.app)
<VirtualHost *:80>
                ServerName domain.app
                VirtualDocumentRoot /var/www/html/test/%0/public
                ServerAlias *.domain.app
                <Directory /var/www/html/test/sub.domain.app/public>
                        <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
                                Options -MultiViews
                                RewriteEngine On
                                RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
                                RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
                        </IfModule>
                </Directory>
</VirtualHost>



This works fine for all of the following urls:



  • http://domain.app
  • http://domain.app/login
  • http://domain.app
  • http://sub.domain.app/login



But since, I want a wildcard subdomain, meaning I do not want to hardcode sub.domain.app in the vhost but want something like anything.domain.app so I tried to replace

Code:
<Directory /var/www/html/test/sub.domain.app/public>


with

Code:
<Directory /var/www/html/test/%0/public>



I get the following results:



  • http://domain.app (works)
  • http://domain.app/login (works)
  • http://domain.app (works)
  • http://sub.domain.app/login (404 Not found, The requested URL /login was not found on this server.)




Please can someone help me?


Thanks in advance

Instead of using the real wild card I would use the default vhost to catch the rest / undefined vhost names.

<VirtualHost _default_:80>
