DigitalOcean Apache 2 Debian 7 Virtual Host for subdomain

Question

I have VPS on digitalocean.com. To DNS for example.com I added cname subdomain.

Server work on Debian 7 with apache 2.2 and php 5.5

I have problem with subdomain configuration. I tried all tutorial form first 4 google pages for "apache subdomain configuration".

But still after request subdomain.example.com response is example.com content.

I use:

apachectl -t -D DUMP_VHOSTS

Result is:

    apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName
[Thu Nov 28 15:58:58 2013] [warn] VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xx.xxx:80 overlaps with VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xx.xxx:80, the first has precedence, perhaps you need a NameVirtualHost directive

I tried too with ServerAlias, foledrs in /var/www have owner as www-data and 755 chmod.

Thanks in advance for any idea.

as you can see in your 2nd block, you are missing the this:

<VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xx.xxx:80>

and that should be configured at the beginning. you need to have your server's fully qualified domain name by doing this: if you use root as user, then: nano /etc/hosts

then add this:

127.0.0.1       localhost

#Virtual Hosts 
12.34.56.789    example.com

then save it and restart Apache, and you're done.
