Apache

Hi all,

on my server I have connected domain:

www.my-first-domain.com which is installed in /var/www/first

For that domain I have installed virtual host.

Quote:

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName www.my-first-domain.com
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/my-first-domain.com-error.log
TransferLog /var/log/apache2/my-first-domain.com-access.log

DocumentRoot /var/www/first/
<Directory /var/www/first/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>

</VirtualHost>

I dont know why, when I will put address

my-first-domain.com instead of www.my-first-domain.com

server redirect that domain to folder /var/www/.

Does anybody knows whats going on ?

Did you restart the apache?

Give us the output of

Code:

apachectl -S

this will print all virtual domains apache finds in its configuration
If you go with apache2 use

Code:

apache2ctl -S

Damn I want one two

Just for my peace of mind.
Do you really need a ServerAlias to get it working? Specially when you have a ServerName allready set?
As far I got it you would need a ServerAlias directive for something like this.

Code:

ServerName my-domain.com
ServerAlias www.my-domain.com

@zhjim

You need ServerAlias whenever you want your vhost to listen to alternative names regardless if the ServerName uses the fqdn, or just the domain name.
