I have Ghost 0.4.2 set up on http://www.thepapermail.com. However, when you enter http://thepapermail.com, you are still presented with the same general page. None of my links work with that, though, because I have Ghost configured to use www before the URL.
I tried adding a cname with www pointing to @, but that didn’t work. Then I added an A record with www pointing to my server’s IP address. That didn’t work either.
Does anyone know of a way to force prepend www to the domain?

Glad it worked! <br> <br>No, you should keep DNS records pointing both www.thepapermail.com and thepapermail.com to that IP address.
Worked perfect, Andrew. One more thing: should I remove any of the records I added in DNS settings?
You can force a redirect to www by editing the nginx configuration like so: <br> <br><pre> <br>server { <br> listen 80; <br> server_name thepapermail.com; <br> return 301 http://www.thepapermail.com$request_uri; <br>} <br>server { <br> listen 80; <br> server_name www.thepapermail.com ; <br> <br> client_max_body_size 10M; <br> <br> location / { <br> proxy_pass http://localhost:2368/; <br> proxy_set_header Host $host; <br> proxy_buffering off; <br> } <br>} <br></pre> <br> <br>This is found in: <br> <br><pre> <br>/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf <br></pre> <br> <br>Let us know how it goes!
