With the current version of apache, you need to do the following, which has changed compared to the previous versions:

cd /etc/apache2/sites-enabled

Now find the config file for your domain and edit it (the first three lines after is what we need here):

        ServerName www.yourdomain.com
        ServerAlias yourdomain.com *.yourdomain.com
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

        
                Options FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride None

service apache2 reload

and it'll work!

P.S. You may also want not to add *.yourdomain.com to the end of your ServerAlias line.
