Question

www.domain.com not working, domain.com working, why??

  • Posted March 7, 2014

Hi,

I created a virtual host and httpd.conf reads as follows

<VirtualHost 146.185.136.14> DocumentRoot /srv/http/shilpi.com ServerName shilpi.com ServerAlias www.shilpi.com ErrorLog “/var/log/httpd/shilpi.com-error_log” CustomLog “/var/log/httpd/shilpi.com-access_log” common <Directory “/srv/http/shilpi.com”> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride All Order allow,deny allow from all </Directory> </VirtualHost>

Now when I visit http://shilpi.com it works but if I visit www.shilpi.com I get the message webpage is not available.

Anybody any clue???

Thanks

My domain is not working with http but it is working with www. How to overcome this?

thinking about it, I think @ on the right will only work with a CNAME. <br> <br>if you add an A, put in your IP address on the right, <br>if you add a CNAME, put in shilpi.com on the right <br> <br>CNAME or A will work, you only need one or the other, not both.

you have to add a www entry to the dns, I think an A record with www on the left and @ on the right will do the trick. After adding it, wait 15+ minutes for the new entry to appear, and the old cached entry to expire.
