Hi,
I’ve installed Wordpress with Ubuntu (Apache) using the application and tutorial you provide. Using the Wordpress panel I changed the URL to http://www.mydomain.com but now it doesn’t work having the site crashed, but it works when I put http://mydomain.com. What am I doing wrong? I have this on my GoDaddy account:
A @ MY IP 1 day
CNAME ftp @ 1 hour www @ 1 hour
Thanks in advance!

Open /etc/apache2/apache2.conf in nano as root:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
Find the line that says Servername your droplet's IP address (you can search by pressing Ctrl-W, typing your IP address, and pressing Enter) and make sure the line below it looks like this:
ServerAlias www.yourdomain.com yourdomain.com
Then, restart Apache:
sudo service apache2 restart
If that doesn’t fix it, can you post the actual domain name?
