Thank you for a detailed reply. I have gone through the things you asked me to check. There was an entry in netstat -an like this:

TCP    [::]:8080              [::]:0                 LISTENING

Which suggests that Apache is running. So now what I did was, I tried to add a Listen directive to the IPAddress the subdomain was resolving to.

If that was the only line that matched, apache is only listening on IPv6.

 

Listen 123.45.6.789:8080

Do you have other listen lines in your configuration?

It might help to enable the server info module and see if there are any listed in its output.

 

I also added a virual host entry explicitly for this IP
<VirtualHost 123.45.6.789:8080>
ServerName subdomain.example.com
</VirtualHost>

You should not add a virtual host unless you want it to have different content or configuration.

Otherwise it will make this harder.

 

When I restarted Apache it failed with the following error:
"Context of the address was (OS 10049) request is invalid. : AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address 123.45.6.789:8080"

Are you sure it points to that address? That is not a valid IP address which would explain why apache can't bind to it.
