Getting Page Not Found error for my custom subdomain setup

Question

I want to setup a new custom subdomain (va.domain.com) within the project of my existing domain (craft.domain.com) using homestead.

So I referred to this this answer on craftexchange and followed all the steps.

I now have a separate folder at the root level called public_va. Inside that I have my index.phpwith this define statement that is supposed to change the path:

define('CRAFT_TEMPLATES_PATH', realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . "/../templates_va").'/');

Inside of the craftfolder I have created a folder called templates_va that is a sibling of the existing templates folder. And I put in a simple index.html file in just for testing.

Now when I point my browser to va.domain.com, it just shows me:

Page Not Found

The requested URL was not found on this server.

I also tried creating a new (single) section called va_homepage in the CP backend but I get the same error.

What am I doing wrong? How do I fix this? My error logs inside my vagrant box show nothing. The domain itself has been setup correctly via homestead. I verified by routing request to a static file.

Answer 1

This is now fixed. The dynamic path to the new templates folder was wrong:

define('CRAFT_TEMPLATES_PATH', realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . "/../templates_va").'/');
