we're running a large project for different customers, each has its own subdomain. Apache should not execute any script if an invalid subdomain is used. Instead, an error page should be shown.

Working:

this is out zzz-default.conf which is the last VHOST and matches all queries that are not catched by another VHOST.

<VirtualHost *:80>

        ServerName project.example.com

        ServerAlias *.project.example.com

        Redirect 404 /

        DocumentRoot /var/www/html/

        ErrorDocument 404 "This Subdomain does not exist."

        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log

        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

</VirtualHost>

What's not working:

ErrorDocument 404 /404.html

This file is located in /var/www/html/ and contains pure html, no scripts.

Our problem seems to be the redirect rule, but we need this to match all subdomains and rewrite to /.

If I enable this and call an invalid subdomain, I get

Not Found

The requested URL / was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to
use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Anybody knows why?

Edit:
The other VHOSTs are defined as

<VirtualHost *:80>

    ServerName client.project.example.com

    Header always append X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN

</VirtualHost>



Include /path/to/local/client/httpd-vufind.conf

There are 13 VHOSTs defined like this and then the above zzz-default.conf is loaded.

  No. There is no entry since apache restart. There's only one error.log file. It does not get logged. In access.log, I see the 404 error, but no more info about what causes it.
