|
|
Hi,
My domain name is www.vindhyachalacademy.org. As you can see, it is temporarily up. However, when I try to access it via http://vindhyachalacademy.org or even the IP address, I get the default apache page.
I installed apache using VirtualNaming scheme as suggested in the Linode Library.
I couldn't get anything from this question http://www.linode.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4787.
Any pointers?
Thanks! |

| You probably have a "ServerName www.blah.org" line but no "ServerAlias blah.org" line. Add it underneath ServerName, and restart Apache. If that doesn't work, show us the whole VirtualHosting block. |

Thanks for the quick reply.
Here it is:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin mail@vindhyachalacademy.org
ServerName vindhyachalacademy.org
ServerAlias www.vindhyachalacademy.org
DocumentRoot /srv/www/vindhyachalacademy.org/public_html
ErrorLog /srv/www/vindhyachalacademy.org/logs/error.log
CustomLog /srv/www/vindhyachalacademy.org/logs/access.log combined
</VirtualHost> |

| Can you tell if the VirtualHost is actually working? i.e. add a redirect to it and see if that takes effect. |

| It must be working because the root folder (for the Website) etc are specified here only, right? |

| I don't know. If you're new to apache, you might have added it multiple places till you got it right. You could try commenting it out and see if it is the only place. |

vinacademy did you get a right answer for this question. I see your site is working with and without www.
Can you share with us how did you manage to do it?
Thanks! |

Hi,
Sorry for the late reply. I didn't get any reminder on email from the forum that there are further replies to this thread. Don't know if this would be useful for you or not, but I followed the following procedure:
1. Go to DNS Manger.
2. Add an 'A' record with Domain Name (of course, without www), and proper IP address.
3. Follow Linode Library's docs on how to configure Apache Server.
HTH
