Tenant sub domain not working | Returns default homepage

[felix2056]

Description I am using hyn/multitenant on Ubuntu and created a virtual host pointing to website.com then I edited /etc/sites-enabled/000-default.conf and set the ServerAlias to catch-all route to website.com:

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@website.com
        ServerName website.com
        ServerAlias *.website.com
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html/website/public

        <Directory /var/www/html/website/public>
          Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
          Require all granted
          AllowOverride All
        </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

I already added the wildcard * on my domain DNS records. it is working perfect but when I create a tenant and try to redirect to its hostname/subdomain ( http://foo.website.com), I get the main site homepage. Navigating to any route inside web.php works but it's the main site, not tenant. While going to any route inside tenants.php returns a 404.

Tenancy is not being resolved

Actual behavior

All tenant routes returns 404

Expected behavior

All tenant routes should work
