Hi, so I’ve read through your documentation and also through posts and I’m still unclear of the problem. Can I get your help please. Goes like this.
-
I’m forwarding my domain “thewebmadesimple.com” to http://178.62.21.147/thewebmadesimple.com - which is my droplet DO-07
-
I’ve set up mod_rewrite to /var/www/thewebmadesimple.com but I cant find out how to substitute the 178.62.21.147 to www (I want to end up with www.thewebmadesimple.com)
sorry if this is a stupid question (guess I’m stupid). thanks in advance

Sierracircle - thanks for your help on this.
I had to go round the houses a few times, learnt loads, turns out that I was forwarding my domain incorrectly. Once I’d covered that it all fell into place.
thanks for your time - appreciate it
