TITLE

wildcard subdomain

PRODUCT, VERSION, OPERATING SYSTEM, ARCHITECTURE

CentOS 7.5, Obsidian 18.0.26, web host edition, apache + nginx (in default config without custom folder according last update)

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION

The behaviour as outlined in

Adding Wildcard Subdomains (Linux)

Use wildcard subdomains to redirect visitors from non-existent subdomains to one of your websites, commonly, to your ...

docs.plesk.com

does no longer work.

When creating the wildcard subdomain, the resulting wildcard domains are not added to the server directive in nginx.conf and also not in httpd.conf resp. the related vhost files. By adding the wildcard subdomains by hand it works again.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

As outlined in the article

Adding Wildcard Subdomains (Linux)

Use wildcard subdomains to redirect visitors from non-existent subdomains to one of your websites, commonly, to your ...

docs.plesk.com

By following those steps, the wildcard subdomain is not properly used as expected.

ACTUAL RESULT

nothing happens, nada, zero, null, muerto

EXPECTED RESULT

All subdomains without explicit subdomain settings should be redirected to the original domain, where the original domain website handles the domain names.

ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

From developer:

Linked article Adding Wildcard Subdomains (Linux)
work as planned for:
CentOS Linux release 7.7.1908 (Core) and Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS
for dev and prod environments.

You may check apache config after add wildcard subdomain:

# cat /etc/httpd/conf.d/zz010_psa_httpd.conf | grep wildcards
IncludeOptional '/etc/httpd/conf/plesk.conf.d/wildcards/*.conf'
# ls -la /etc/httpd/conf/plesk.conf.d/wildcards/
total 4
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root   51 Apr 27 09:08 .
drwxr-xr-x. 7 root root 4096 Apr 24 18:45 ..
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root   74 Apr 27 09:08 <YOUR_DOMAIN>.conf -> /var/www/vhosts/system/_.<YOUR_DOMAIN>/conf/httpd.conf
 
cat /var/www/vhosts/system/_.<YOUR_DOMAIN>/conf/httpd.conf | egrep \\*.<YOU_DOMAIN> -A2
                ServerAlias "*.<YOU_DOMAIN>"
                UseCanonicalName Off
 
--
        ServerAlias "*.<YOU_DOMAIN>"
        UseCanonicalName Off

if the problem will remain after that I recommend contact Plesk support.
