Sorry about that, @yashjain27. I’ve updated the screenshots!
Thanks, the redirect works. But how can we make the website display www.example.com instead example.com
You can add the following to your Apache ServerHost config or your .htaccess file if you have one:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
This will redirect non-www to www. If you’re using HTTPS, replace http with https.
Make sure the rewrite module is enabled:
sudo a2enmod rewrite
If it wasn’t enabled, you will need to restart Apache for the change to take effect:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Let me know how that goes!
Hi, sorry but the image showing how it should be set isn’t available anymore, can you text it here.
@cristthian you should add a A record to your domain on your Digital Ocean panel.
Hostname must be www (Digital Ocean auto adds the domain.com) pointing to your droplet.
