Apache subdomain redirects to WordPress on www

I am running 2 websites on the same server:

  • www.example.com example.com – WordPress
  • sub.example.com – another site

Requesting http://sub.example.com should of course respond with the index for that website. Instead it redirects to http://www.example.com unless I explicitly request http://sub.example.com/index.html, in which case I get the correct website.

I think the issue may be WordPress’s .htaccess file for permalinks (generated by WordPress):

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

Here are my VirtualHost conf files for both sites:

# sub.mysite.com
<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /var/www/sub
    ServerName sub.example.com

    <Directory /var/www/sub/>
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</Directory>

# www.example.com example.com
<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /var/www/wordpress
    ServerName www.example.com
    ServerAlias example.com

    <Directory /var/www/wordpress/>
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</Directory>

    Turns out it was just my browser caching a permanent redirect from sub to www, which was probably the result of an improper configuration that I fixed before.

    Try replacing your server IP after 

     <VirtualHost 12.345.56.789:80>
 ServerName sub.example.com
 DocumentRoot "/var/www/sub"
 <Directory /var/www/sub>
     Allow from all
     AllowOverride All
 </Directory> </VirtualHost>
