Configure SSL for sub subdomain in Directadmin?

djsmiley2k · Dec 16, 2018

I installed SSL (HTTPS) for my domain name in Directadmin but when I create a sub domainname then it is showing this

I created a A record for my subdomain name in DNS management like this

A subdomain.example.com IP Address

but it is showing Apache is functioning normally on my browser

Not sure what to fix now? any help?

I believe you need to purchase wild card ssl in order to secure the subdomain associated with the domain name , normal SSL will not secure the sub domain. Contact your SSL Provider and ask them about it.

I faced same problem and I solved it and you might need to check your IP that you are pointing your subdomain to. Don't create A record that pointing to your real IP address of your server, use IP that you have setup SSL for your domain name instead.

As using Directadmin, you need a dedicated IP address to verify SSL for your domain, point that IP address for your subdomain, it will work.
Also, choose this

to make sure subdomain will use right folder on your hosting.
