I have setup a following VirtualHost Configuration to server my domain name(xyz.com) and subfolder accordingly. The file is as follows
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin info@socialcosmo.com ServerName socialcosmo.com ServerAlias www.socialcosmo.com

When i hit xyz.com or xyz.com/blog, it works properly. But typing www.xyz.com in browser gives me an error saying
Oops! Google Chrome could not find www.socialcosmo.com
Can somebody point me out where i have gone wrong ?

@brightfielddev: What’s the domain name?
I am having the same problem. I added the A record www.mydomain.com over an hour ago but it still does not work. I also have the ‘ServerAlias www.mydomain.com’ entry with no luck. When I ping www.mydomain.com it says unknown host.
Your apache configuration is correct and the easiest way to have www.xyz.com load the same content as xyz.com is just to add a : <br> <br>ServerAlias www.xyz.com <br> <br>So it most likely means that your DNS for www.xyz.com is misconfigured. <br> <br>When you ping it does it resolve to the same IP as xyz.com?
