Parallels

Symptoms

I have a few subdomains. However, visitors are sometimes accessing nonexistent subdomains. I want to create one subdomain to catch all nonexistent subdomains for the domain.

Resolution

For Parallels Plesk Panel 10.4 and later versions:

You may simply create a wildcard subdomain by entering "*" for its name:

For Parallels Plesk Panel 10.3 and earlier versions:

Create a subdomain for the domain in Plesk with a name like "zz-wildcard." It has to be the last in the subdomain list, which is ordered alphabetically, so start its name with "zz."

Add special configuration (catch-all for all subdomains) to the "vhost.conf" file of this subdomain, e.g.,  /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/subdomains/zz-wildcard/conf/vhost.conf:

Rebuild Apache configuration using the websrvmng:

or the httpdmng utility (for newer PP versions):

Now, all nonexistent subdomain requests will to go to "zz-wildcard.domain.com."

Note: You need to replace <YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME> above with the actual domain name.
