DNS settings:Can you spot what I might have entered wrongly?
I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help point out what I might have done wrong in trying to map a folder on our server i.e mywebsite.com/abc to a similarly named subdomain i.e abc.mywebsite.com.
Here's what our Linode DNS entries look like:
–-----------------------------------------------------
DNS Manager » abc.mywebsite.coom
SOA Record
Primary DNS Email Default TTL Refresh Rate Retry Rate Expire Time Options
ns1.linode.com
NS Records

ns1.linode.com abc.mywebsite.com Default Edit | Remove
ns2.linode.com abc.mywebsite.com Default Edit | Remove
ns3.linode.com abc.mywebsite.com Default Edit | Remove
ns4.linode.com abc.mywebsite.com Default Edit | Remove
ns5.linode.com abc.mywebsite.com Default Edit | Remove

..and here's what the virtual hosts section of Apache config file looks like:
DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/mywebsite.com/httpdocs/
ServerName mywebsite.com
ServerAlias
Alias /webmail "/var/www/html/webmail/"
Alias /postfixadmin "/var/www/html/postfixadmin"
ErrorLog logs/mywebsite.com-error_log
CustomLog logs/mywebsite.com-access_log common
DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/mywebsite.com/httpdocs/
ServerName mywebsite.com
ServerAlias
Alias /webmail "/var/www/html/webmail/"
Alias /postfixadmin "/var/www/html/postfixadmin"
ErrorLog logs/mywebsite.com-error_log
CustomLog logs/mywebsite.com-access_log common
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/mywebsite.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/private/mywebsite.key
SSLCACertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/ssl123.crt
DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/mywebsite.com/httpdocs/
ServerName abc.mywebsite.com
ServerAlias abc.mywebsite.com
Alias /webmail "/var/www/html/webmail/"
Alias /postfixadmin "/var/www/html/postfixadmin"
ErrorLog logs/mywebsite.com.com-error_log
CustomLog logs/mywebsite.com-access_log common
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/mywebsite.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/private/mywebsite.key
SSLCACertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/ssl123.crt
I copied the 3rd section of the virtual host section of our Apache config from the second section and made modifications to it.
Thanks.

I'm now thinking that there must be an issue with the Apache config file..
Can anyone help spot it?
Thanks for your response.
I have changed document root to
/var/www/vhosts/mywebsite.com/httpdocs/abc
and/or
/var/www/vhosts/mywebsite.com/httpdocs/abc/
and restarted the server a number of times.
abc.mywebsite.com still resolves to mywebsite.com.
Could there be other factors that could be responsible?
e.g my DNS entries for creating this subdomain. Here's what my DNS entries look like:
DNS Manager » abc.mywebsite.coom
SOA Record
Primary DNS Email Default TTL Refresh Rate Retry Rate Expire Time Options
ns1.linode.com me@myemail.com Default Default Default Default Settings
NS Records
Name Server Subdomain TTL Options
ns1.linode.com abc.mywebsite.com Default Edit | Remove
ns2.linode.com abc.mywebsite.com Default Edit | Remove
ns3.linode.com abc.mywebsite.com Default Edit | Remove

Are you able to spot anything I might have entered wrongly?
Thanks.
I don't see a vhosts config for 12.34.56.78:80 for abc.mywebsite.com. Have you tried accessing it via https to see if the :443 config is working for abc.mywebsite.com ?
