 Posted: Tue 25 Aug '09 9:44 Post subject: DNS or Apache config problem? |
 |
|
Hello, at I have a webserver running apache.
The problem is that is only work by typing www.example.com.
When I type example.com it does not load. Is this a problem that I can solve with redirection or I must tell the ISP to operate in the DNS? |

If you setup a vhost alias it should work. Did you defined both?

| If you can't ping it. The DNS is only set for www.example.com, but not example.com. Very unusual, but possible. |
