DNS subdomain syntax

Question

I have a subdomain bonify.archaeolabs.nl it points to my servers ipaddress (DNS) and shows the www.archaeolabs.nl page. I have another root directory for bonify.archaeolabs.nl, I have a bonify.archaeolabs.nl.conf file with the following:

<virtualhost*: 80>
ServerAdmin email_address
ServerName bonify.archaeolabs.nl
ServerAlias bonify.archaeolabs.nl
DocumentRoot /path/to/bonify.archaeolabs.nl

<Directory "/path/to/bonify.archaeolabs.nl/">
  Option FollowSymLinks
  AllowOverride All
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
</Directory>

Am I close or barking up the wrong tree?

as far as I know 'ServerName' and 'ServerAkias' must be unique. Rest should work, but I currently can´t verify it while on vacation. — Michael, Apr 19 '17 at 19:45
yes, the alias is for different domains and/or subdomains which should be routed to the same document root. — Michael, Apr 19 '17 at 19:49
If the page is still not reachable you may find additional infos in the error or access log of you apache server which might help to find the problem. — Michael, Apr 19 '17 at 19:57
Thanks, I'm looking through them since apache wont restart following these edits — Spatial Digger, Apr 19 '17 at 20:02
Ok, fixed apache (a2dissite then restart, a2ensite and restart again) but the bonify url is still redirecting to the archaeolabs directory. — Spatial Digger, Apr 19 '17 at 20:10

Solved!

I needed to add the ipaddress and subdomain to the /etc/hosts file, now it works like a charm!
