Wildcard Subdomains in Plesk

In a recent project, I had to enable wildcard subdomains in Plesk so that I could use dynamic subdomains with symfony. The answer was to manually add an Apache directive to the domain’s configuration and was found in a Knowledge Base article from Parallels: http://kb.parallels.com/en/955

I wanted to post this just in case someone else runs into the same issue trying to use the dynamic subdomains front controller with a domain set up through Plesk. This was Plesk 8.4.0 running on a Media Temple Dedicated Virtual(dv) hosting plan, but should work with older versions of Plesk as well. If you’re not sure what a vhost.conf file is, there are several tutorials online or you can check out the official Plesk documentation (here’s the PDF you’d probably want to take a look at).
