"server default page" error for any subdomain created! all subdomains do not work!

[derpyderp]

Hello,

I tried to search on the forum for an answer to my question.. but either the search function is broken (surprise surprise), or there are no threads in the entire forum that contain the word "domain" or "subdomain" which i find hard to believe.

At any rate..

I create a subdomain, and the sub domain doesnt work it always displays the ...

"Server Default page"

I'm not sure what the deal is here. I'm completely lost and i've spent almost 10-15 hours working on something that should work with a single click. But, from what i read about swsoft other places this is very common.

First off, all of the domains are pointed to this server for authoritative dns requests, which means any modifications plesk makes to the zone files will show up to the world. I've gone over the DNS entries manually 4 or 5 times now and everything looks fine, no errors that ive spotted visually anywhere.

So heres what I did,

I added the domain http://www.communicomm.com.au/ with physical hosting, which works fine no problems.

I then created a subdomain with the standard options (php, etc) at http://lists.communicomm.com.au/

and, the sub domain does not work.

Here are the entries plesk created for the sub domain..

<VirtualHost 202.83.85.44:80>
ServerName lists.communicomm.com.au:80
SuexecUserGroup ftp_ccom psacln

Everything looks fine there too.. Which is good, because i cant change any of the virtual host directive for the domain because the poorly coded software just wipes my changes everytime it does anything..

So, wtf is going on?

I'm running apache version 2.2.6-1 on FedoraCore 6 with kernel 2.6.22.9-61

I believe the lists subdomain may be reserved for Mailman. Have you tried creating a subdomain with another name?

 

[derpyderp]

I have not. I will try that now.

 

[derpyderp]

Hahaha! i cant believe that! it worked! oh my! thank you! All of the subdomains i tried to create i set to use lists for the newsletter software.

You know that Plesk comes with Mailman integrated, right? You could use that for mailinglists/newsletters.
