[users@httpd] URL
Hi,all!
I am new in Apache.
I have a bit of a problem and I hope that you can help.
I want to put in URL " http://mydomain.com" instead
"http://www.mydomain.com".
Any suggestions?
Thanks for your time.
Nina

You should have Apache answer to both www.mydomain.com and mydomain.com.
That way no matter what way someone goes to the site they will get it.
The way I understand it, is if you have it just mydomain.com and someone trys
to go to the site with www.mydomain.com it might not be listening for that
and give them a 404 page.

You are not wrong. This is a DNS issue.

Nina,
This is actually a question for your domain name server than for Apache
(the list will correct me if I am wrong).
Apache only controls what happens to a request after it arrives at your
server. What you want to do is to get the request to your server in
the first place.
Your domain name server (DNS) has set up an "A record" which tells the
world that requests to "www.mydomain.com" should point to your
particular IP address (like 255.255.255.255). You need to ask them to
also set up a "C Record" that tells the world that requests to
"mydomain.com" should also point to "www.mydomain.com".
The simple solution is to contact your server or host and ask them to
set this up for you.
If this is not clear, you can reply directly, since this is not an
Apache topic.
Regards,
Nelson

Nina,
There is a part of your question that DOES apply to Apache.
If your DNS was set up so that the A Record pointed "mydomain.com" to
your IP address, then ALL requests to the IP address would go there and
could be dealt with by Apache, and you could send different request to
different areas using httpd.conf
But sometimes DNS records have been set specifically so that
"www.mydomain.com" goes to the IP address, and all other forms of the
request, like "mydomain.com" or "users.mydomain.com" are ignored.
But again, you need to talk to your server or host.
If you want to see the DNS records and settings that apply to your
domain, try this site:

RE: [users@httpd] URL

Hello Nina,
What IPs do you get when pinging mydomain.com and www.mydomain.com?
Where do you host your domain name?
If both IPs on both domains showing the same results, you can run the server
and it will serve correctly, otherwise you should be in touch with your
domain hostmaster to change the A record (www) to point to the same IP that
your domain is pointing to right now, or as a replacement to delete the www
A record.
All the best,
Jeff Cohen
