How to add a sub-domain in Plesk with wwwGenerally, a sub-domain is not accessed using the www prefix i.e. you can access
subdomain.domain.tld but not
www.subdomain.domain.tld by default.
Solution:
To make a subdomain work with ‘
www’ prefix on a Plesk server, you have to add a ServerAlias entry in the vhost configuration of the sub-domain and add an A record from Plesk.
Steps:
1. Create a
vhost.conf file for the sub-domain
# cd /var/www/vhosts/domain.tld/subdomains/<sub-domain>/conf
# nano vhost.conf
and add a ServerAlias entry
ServerAlias
www.subdomain.domain.tld2. Add an
‘A’ record for the ‘
www’ prefix of the sub-domain from
Plesk -> Domains -> <domain.tld> -> DNS Settings -> Add Record
www.subdomain.domain.tld A 1.1.1.13. To apply the ServerAlias changes, run the websrvmng utility
# /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/websrvmng -a
4. Restart the webserver
# service httpd restart
Replace the subdomain/domain name and the
1.1.1.1 IP with the actual values.Done
