Problem about hostname + domain

Hello,

Do you know how to add the following function into httpd.conf ?
When user type http://domain.com , then the web server will auto direct
to http://www.domain.com ?

Thank for your help !

Edward.

Just a correction. I thought this was about the http->https thingy, but in
this case (domain.com->www.domain.com) I would say the PHP method would be
silly (or indeed, stupid) when you have ability alter the server
configuration. You could also have the redirect in an .htaccess file. But,
using ServerAlias is the way to do it; it's the standard way at most hosting
companies.

Robert Andersson

Either way will work, but the simple Apache redirect is the more elegant
(and faster) solution. Have you tried it yet?

Hello,

I just got a function with php from a netfriend :
created index.php with this line :
<?header("location: http://www.domain.com");?>

So, I want to know which setting is the best !

Thank for your help !

Edward.

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#serveralias

Try this (based on the previous config):

<VirtualHost 192.168.200.1:80>
    DocumentRoot "/usr/local/apache/htdocs"
    ServerName mydomain.com
    ServerAlias www.mydomain.com *.mydomain.com
    ServerAdmin root@mydomain.com
    ErrorLog /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log
    TransferLog /usr/local/apache/logs/access_log
</VirtualHost>

Note the ServerAlias, and remove the *.mydomain.com if you want
