Subdomains without TLDs
How do I set up a subdomain without a TLD? I have this set under my main config
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName bbs.67.777.777.777 #fake bc my server can easily be hacked ATM :(
DocumentRoot /var/www/phpBB
</VirtualHost>
when i goto bbs.serveripaddress i get Address Not Found error. if I put this above my main config it still doesn't work, but the whole site points to / var / www / phpBB instead of / var / www (HUH!?!)
master host v
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
# This directive allows us to have apache2 default start page
# in /apache2-default/, but still have / go to the right place
RedirectMatch ^/$ /apache2-default/
</Directory>
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel warn
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
ServerSignature On
Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"
<Directory "/usr/share/doc/">
Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
I am using debian box using apache2 if that helps.

You cannot have a subdomain with an IP address. Your best bet is to have a domain or free subdomain (eg no-ip) to point to your IP address and create a ServerName for it. Don't forget to add the domain to your server's DNS zones.
or make a domain in the host files and use it.
