My DNS settings are as follows:
$TTL 1800
@ IN SOA NS1.DIGITALOCEAN.COM. hostmaster.[mydomain.com]. (
1412671879 ; last update: 2014-10-07 08:51:19 UTC
3600 ; refresh
900 ; retry
1209600 ; expire
1800 ; ttl
)
IN NS NS1.DIGITALOCEAN.COM.
NS NS2.DIGITALOCEAN.COM.
NS NS3.DIGITALOCEAN.COM.
MX 10 mx.zohomail.com.
MX 20 mx2.zohomail.com.
@ IN A [SERVER-IP-ADDRESS-REMOVED]
www CNAME @
The problem is that the domain without www loads index.html in ( /var/www/index.html) and with www loads (/var/www/mydomain.com/public_html/index.html)

I’m using apache2. And the problem is that the domain with www and without it should open the same index.html which they do not.
It’s probably your server configuration. It sounds like you have a configuration for a server with the name mydomain.com and a server root of /var/www/mydomain.com/public_html/. Apparently /var/www/ is the server root for the default domain, which you are seeing because you don’t have a configuration for www.mydomain.com. You should be able to just add www.mydomain.com as a server name for the mydomain.com configuration.
