Question
DNS issue - how to get example.com and www.example.com to point to the same thing?
I’ve created a vhost within my LAMP stack - example.com
My DNS is set up as follows
A - @ - Droplet IP
CNAME - WWW - example.com
When I browse to www.example.com it points to my vhost.
When I browse to example.com it points to the default ‘Apache2 Ubuntu Default Page’ (the original default host)
I want example.com to point to the same as www.example.com
Is this a DNS config issue or a vhost issue?

Apache’s vhost should have
ServerNameset to example.com andServerAliasset to www.example.com.If you can post your vhost file I can provide exact instructions.
Perfect, that worked. Thank you
