Hi I have two domains on a virtual host that have been up and running for maybe two years, but mostly idle. I initially had this problem, and fixed it by setting up separate A records for both www.mysite.com and www.myothersite.com. (I may have created the second A record for the alias without the www. It’s been a while.) Now that I need to update the sites I find that the problem is back. The sites are krowdzilla.com and krowdproject.com. The error I’m getting is “www.krowdzilla.com refused to connect.” I did reboot the server (Ubuntu/Apache) today before discovering the issue. Thanks for any help.

I’m not certain, but I think I’ve found the problem. I think that: A) There was a problem. B) Chrome cached the problem. C) After the fix, Chrome displayed the cached error page. So the original problem became a local problem. Clearing the cache seemed to fix the problem. Then it came back. I’ve cleared it a second time and seemingly fixed it again. Crazy. Hopefully it’s resolved. Edit: It came back. Even after deleting cache/browsing history, Chrome was autofilling my domain name. I went to myactivity.google.com and sure enough there’s all my browsing history. I had to manually delete each reference to my site. Knock on wood. It may be fixed.
Hi @jonsidener,
I can see both domains are working as expected now. Glad to see you managed to resolve the issue!
Anyway, what I would thought the problem would have been is your Apache configuration files and possibly missing the www versions of your websites inside. Is that correct?
