| 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>
