WampServer

I've set up 2 virtual hosts, and now there's something funky going on. I followed this tutorial by a frequent poster here [guides.jlbn.net]. My domain is www.flashgods.org. I'm attempting to set up forums.flashgods.org and blog.flashgods.org. forums.flashgods.org is the working VH, but blog.flashgods.org won't re-direct. I've set it up exactly the same as the forums one, but for some reason, it doesn't work. Any help is appreciated, I will make any files available that are necessary. Thanks.

Hosts file:

127.0.0.1 localhost

127.0.0.1 www.flashgods.org

127.0.0.1 forums.flashgods.org
127.0.0.1 blog.flashgods.org

httpd-vhost.conf:

NameVirtualHost *:80

Apparently both dont work, when testing from outside my server, both show up as Server Not Found. Locally, what happens is stated above. I'm using dyndns to point the domain to my IP. [www.flashgods.org] [www.flashgods.org] both work

The question is did you setup DNS for forums.flashgods.org and blog.flashgods.org yet? If not, of course they will NOT work worldwide as I've already mentioned in my guide

as a new custom dns or a Alias (CNAME) Records

Neither, you need to add A-Record

127.0.0.1 forums.flashgods.org
127.0.0.1 blog.flashgods.org

@ stevenmartin99
If you add to host file like that then you will confuse if you access your sites w/i LAN or worldwide; btw, if I'm not wrong, he's already setup local domains forums and blog to access w/i LAN

@ dzedward
When you have full DNS privilege, you will be able to manage

A Record
MX Record
CNAME
WebForward
MailForward
WebPark
...

Check w/ your host how to add A Record; If you don't have full dns privilege, then sign up for some free such as famous zoneedit which I'm using

change wat u need and it should work
this is wat i use and it works

These are the options I have for my "zones"
[flashgods.org] (screenshot)

These are the three "zones" I have set-up
[flashgods.org] (screenshot)

As seen in first screenshot, that is A-record and you need to add 2 more for your forums and blog

I'm not quite sure about DDNS, but I guess they're using the same term and in zoneedit, each zone is 1 domain, and you want to create 2 sub-domains from 1 domain, so from screenshot 2, you should take out those 2 zone forums and blog; then add a-record for those 2 in zone 1

Ok, now both forums and blog are A-records of flashgods.org. forums.flashgods.org works, but blog.flashgods.org only directs to www.flashgods.org. Any ideas?
