The problem is that I had not put 2 different ServerName in the config, so all traffic was redirected and rewritten in HTTPS on the same ServerName : subdomain.mydomain.com

@per0x said in Access to my NodeBB by subdomain:

Can't you just set that up in the DNS config on your domain name ?

What do you mean?

@Dravere thnx, I'm testing this and telling you if it's okay;)

Hi there,
I'm on a Debian 8, and I try to configure my Nodebb for make an access by subdomain.mydomain.com. But, at this moment, after I do a proxy redirection in my Apache config, my Nodebb is available on mydomain.com but available too on my subdomain...
So, I would like to put only my NodeBB on my subdomain, and leave free the index of my Apache directory

How can I do that ?

My Apache configuration :

<VirtualHost *:80>
        # The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that
        # the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
        # redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
        # specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
        # match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
        # value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
        # However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.
        #ServerName www.example.com
