It may be different on other distros, but Apache on CentOS makes good
use of the /etc/httpd/conf.d folder, whereby you create new files (such
as test.ucauk.org.conf) to describe particular subdomains (Virtual
Webservers). This way, only the default Virtual Webserver is in the main
httpd.conf file, and even that can be taken out :)
For example, I use /etc/httpd/conf.d/pjlewis.org.conf to redirect
http://pjlewis.org to http://www.pjlewis.org:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName pjlewis.org
redirect Permanent / http://www.pjlewis.org/
</VirtualHost>
Then I setup www.pjlewis.org in /etc/httpd/conf.d/www.pjlewis.org.conf:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/pjlewis.org
ServerName www.pjlewis.org
ServerAlias *.pjlewis.org
ErrorDocument 403 /error/noindex.html
<Directory "/var/www/pjlewis.org">
Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
This method works very well for me, and is quite flexible. I find it
easier to track my subdomains by files in the conf.d folder, rather than
entries in httpd.conf, but each to their own :)
Apache has a wealth of documentation online, but you can also find some
great examples of best practices with google. I would suggest taking
Apache a step at a time to get to the final setup you want. Don't forget
to restart httpd in between config file changes :)
