I have successfully installed LEMP stack in Ubuntu 14 and running a phpBB forum. But the problem is that when I enter www.mydomain.com it shows a network error. Somebody please help me.

Edit your virtualhost file and replace yourdomain.com with www.yourdomain.com and add this at the top:
server {
listen 80;
server_name yourdomain.com;
return 301 http://www.yourdomain.com$request_uri;
}
Restart nginx:
sudo service nginx restart
Finally, add a CNAME record with the name of “www” and the hostname of “@”.
hi, I have the exact same problem but it’s still unsolved. This is my virtualhost file setting:
server {
listen 80;
server_name website.com;
return 301 $scheme://www.website.com$request_uri;
}
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;
root /var/www/website.com/html;
server_name www.website.com;
the rest of the code settings....
}
I then restarted nginx with
sudo service nginx restart
I also added CNAME:
www with @
So now, when I type website.com it goes to www.website.com BUT it doesn’t load the site but error message:
“Server not found” “Browser can’t find the server at www.website.com.”
Is there anything I’m missing here? Thank you in advance!!
Hello,
How about server_name www.domain.com domain.com; were www.mydomain.com will redirect to domain.com? is it not good for seo? i use wordpress
I followed your guideline. But still it is not redirecting. Do I need to wait few hours for adding CNAME to take effect?
P.S.: vhost config: http://tny.cz/8fa87c05
