Question
DNS issues on new droplet (Using www does not work)
Hi,
I just created my first Droplet and changed my DNS to DigitalOcean. I've reviewed the following forum thread (https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/dns-tips-and-tricks), but I'm still having issues - my domain works without the www, but not with. I've also checked the vhosts configuration and it looks ok. (This is the same vhost configuration file I was running on a Linode server also using Fedora)
Any help is appreciated.
Details:
whois paulcutler.org shows I'm using the right DNS server, so I know it's propogated.
Running dig shows the same thing:
dig paulcutler.org @ns1.digitalocean.com
; <<>> DiG 9.8.3-P1 <<>> paulcutler.org @ns1.digitalocean.com
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<
ServerAdmin paul.r.cutler@gmail.com
ServerName www.paulcutler.org
ServerAlias paulcutler.org *.paulcutler.org
DocumentRoot /var/www/paulcutler.org/public_html/
ErrorLog /var/www/paulcutler.org/logs/error.log
CustomLog /var/www/paulcutler.org/logs/access.log combined
I've also tried using:
NameVirtualHost *:80
ServerAdmin paul.r.cutler@gmail.com
ServerName paulcutler.org
ServerAlias www.paulcutler.org
DocumentRoot /var/www/paulcutler.org/public_html/
ErrorLog /var/www/paulcutler.org/logs/error.log
CustomLog /var/www/paulcutler.org/logs/access.log combined
Starting Apache with -S does not have any errors, so I don't think it is the vhost configuration.
This thread (https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/xyz-com-sites-opens-properly-but-www-xyz-com-gives-error-is-it-coz-of-my-vhost-setup) makes me think DNS is not configured for www properly, but I'm not having much luck finding any answers on Google.
Any hints or tips are appreciated!
Thanks.
Paul
