Subdomain not resolving to IP

Question

I created a subdomain http://themes.ibrogram.com and it doesn't seem to work, however http://ibrogram.com/themes does work.

I've had this issue for ages using an A record and can't seem to figure out how to fix it.

Any ideas?

Solution

You'll need to add a zone file entry with the following A record:

themes    3600    IN  A   199.38.116.24

You can verify that it resolves by typing

dig themes.ibrogram.com

Note that you still need to ensure that your web server is setup for named-based hosting. Assuming that it is Apache, it will be something like:

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName themes.ibrogram.com
DocumentRoot /path/to/themes
</VirtualHost>

Can we get zone file for ibrogram.com pasted in here?

@Rilindo Zone file?

[Rilindo]

Its a file that contains your domain name as well as subdomains with the corresponding IPs or other domains attached.

This makes perfect sense! Thank you so much for your time!

@user102205 : and never name themes IN A type records subdomains, they are HOSTS
