Virtual host www.domain.com work, domain.com don't work

stormrider_may · 05-03-2006, 12:41 PM

Hi, i'm having a problem with a virtual host. Well actually all of them. When someone try to access for example www.domain.com it works great, my server act as the virtual host of that domain. But if someone try to access domain.com my server doesn't act as it's virtual host and just redirect it to "/".
I hope someone could help me to solve this.

Here is the virtual host conf

Code:

NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerName www.domain.com
   DocumentRoot "/var/www/domain.com"
</VirtualHost>

Here is the master dns conf

Code:

$TTL    86400
; Authoritative data for domain.com
;
@                IN     SOA ns1.domain.com. root.domain.com. (
                        1139830917      ; Serial (yymmddxx)
                        28800           ; refresh, seconds
                        7200            ; retry, seconds
                        604800          ; expire, seconds
                        86400 )         ; minimum, seconds

domain.com.   IN  NS    ns1.domain.com.
domain.com.   IN  NS    ns2.domain.com.
domain.com.   IN  NS    ns3.domain.com.
                 MX 0         mail
domain.com. IN A my_webserver_ip
ns1            IN       A             my_first_dns_ip
ns2            IN       A             my_second_dns_ip
ns3            IN       A             my_third_dns_ip
mail           IN       A             my_mailserver_ip
www            CNAME                  domain.com.

Another question, why dns is so hard to conf?

Try adding "ServerAlias mydomain.com" to your virtual definition.

Hello

In the configuration of virtual hosting,try adding the domain name mydomain.com.

ie..

NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.domain.com domain.com
DocumentRoot "/var/www/domain.com"
</VirtualHost>

Got it?

I hope this works.

Thanks,

Yes i tried this, but got this error

Code:

ServerName takes one argument, The hostname and port of the server

When reloading apache

Hello stormrider_may,

Really sorry to say that, I was not in my senses, i think. You must add 'ServerAlias' not 'ServerName'.

ie..

NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAlias www.domain.com domain.com
DocumentRoot "/var/www/domain.com"
</VirtualHost>

Thanks,,
