Domain name only works for a few minutes

Posted on October 3, 2014

Hello, im new here at DO, and i love it but, yesterday i just installed my apache and configured its virtualhost, then i setup ns in my domain provider and here in DO for domain www.checkmart.cl but its works only a few minutes and then stop working. I check that apache is running fine. If i enter with the ip address it works but not with the domain. Also if a ping checkmart.cl works fine.

Thank You and please help me :(

-------EDIT------

work fine with checkmart.cl, but not with www

A cname already exists now (i think you followed @DarkSaint’s suggestion) and i can see that both work now (www, and without www). What i’d suggest you use a htaccess to redirect either the requests to http://www.checkmart.cl to http://checkmart.cl or vice-versa.
