www doesnt work!

Posted October 6, 2013

Hello everyone, im having a strange problem, so im running a droplet with ubuntu 12.04 x64 with zpanel, fail2ban and denyhosts installed, installed these with the tutorials from the community. If i try to access my website like http://mydomain.com its works perfectly, now if i try with http://www.dimensionmovies.com it results with server not found. Anything that i should do with dns on the control panel of the droplet or some configuration on the zpanel that it may have to do with this?

<code>CNAME, i.e. alias</code> = www <br><code>host</code> = @

Ok im a little lost, what should i put in the name and in the hostname in the CNAME record?

Add a DNS record for ‘www’. In this case you probably want a CNAME pointing to ‘mydomain.com.’
