How to set the document root in Virtualmin sub server? – CentOS

I have a Centos 6.10 server running Webmin/Virtualmin in a dedicated box. I have a few subdomains running under a main parent domain. These sub domains – sub servers as they are called under Virtualmin serve the main page.

I have edited the httpd.conf under /etc/httpd/conf to reflect the document root like so:
/home/parent/public_html/subdomain1
I also hunted down a numbered text file containing some directives here: /etc/webmin/virtual-server/domains/xxxxxxxx
And modified the document root as above.
Still the server when asked to serve https://subdomain1 it shows only the pages of domains.

I have searched everywhere for the hidden Apache directive which points the subdomain to the main server to no avail. What do I miss ?

    Thank you PauloBoaventura for taking the time to write. I finally sorted out the issue. The primary domain has a dedicated IP address and all the subdomains shared the same IP address. But I changed the subdomains IP address to the default IP address and now all the subdomains are working as they should. A lesson learnt with Virtualmin : - small things however insignificant they may appear to be - they have a bearing on the final result.

    In virtualmin, it often does not recognize the subdomain in the apache configuration.

    Try to create a separate domain, being a sub-domain.

    1subdomain.domain.com
