setting up a virtualhost in apache

[flann]

Does anyone know how to setup a subdomain in apache? I went through the cpanel and set it up, it looked like it would work fine, I waited a couple of days for the dns to propagate. It isn't working. I looked at the virtualhost directive in my apache conf file and to me everything looks to be there and to be right. There is a virtual host for my subdomain in the conf file, it points to the directory I want it to point to, but it's just not working. Any ideas?

You can divide the problem in half by making sure DNS is setup correctly. Either of these commands should tell you that: host yourdomain.com
dig yourdomain.com If you see your IP address, DNS is setup. If you don't, DNS is the problem.
