Subdomain redirecting to www
I've purchased a new server and I'm currently in the process of migrating everything across. The main top-level websites are working fine but for some reason, none of my subdomains work because they're automatically trying to redirect to a www version of the subdomain which then breaks Chrome because of my HSTS rule.
Inside the httpd.conf file I found that my subdomain had a ServerAlias of www.sub.domain.com set up for it. I removed the www. from this and the subdomain has started working, but this file is automatically generated from WHM/cPanel so I fear this will get overwritten. Above this Virtual Host it says:
# To customize this VirtualHost use an include file at the following location
# Include "/etc/apache2/conf.d/userdata/std/2_4/username/sub.domain.com/*.conf"
But this location doesn't even exist. Any ideas?

Hello @Liam McArthur The serveralias is intended to be present all domains created will automatically get a serveralias for the www. subdomain. This will not cause the redirection you're seeing. # To customize this VirtualHost use an include file at the following location # Include "/etc/apache2/conf.d/userdata/std/2_4/username/sub.domain.com/*.conf"
This directory is only present if you've created it, if it's not present you've not added any includes for the VirtualHost. If you're seeing a redirect happen globally for all your domains you might want to check .htaccess files and /etc/apache2/conf.d/includes/ for redirects to www. Thanks!0 -
I ended up removing the accounts completely, rebuilding Apache and manually adding the accounts/domains again. I believe a previously cancelled cPanel migration that crashed had caused some major problems throughout my installation but everything appears to be working perfectly again now. 0 -
