Hello everyone!

I was setting up my apache server following the Setting up a LAMP Server on Debian 5.0 (Lenny) but I'm having a problem with my virtualhost. When I type my url with 'www' it works OK, but when I type it without 'www' the default vhost kicks in..

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin admin@domain.com
        ServerName www.domain.com
        ServerAlias domain.com
        DocumentRoot /srv/www/www.domain.com/public_html/
        ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /srv/www/www.domain.com/cgi-bin/
        <Location /cgi-bin>
                Options +ExecCGI
        </Location>
        ErrorLog /srv/www/www.domain.com/logs/error.log
        CustomLog /srv/www/www.domain.com/logs/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Anyone knows why? :\

Try reversing the two.

ServerName domain.com
ServerAlias www.domain.com

I've tried that but the problem persist.. :\

What does your default vhost configuration look like?

Did you restart / reload Apache?

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

        DocumentRoot /var/www/
        <Directory />
                Options FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride None
        </Directory>
        <Directory /var/www/>
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride None
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
        </Directory>

        ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
        <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
                AllowOverride None
                Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
                Order allow,deny
                Allow from all
        </Directory>

        ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log

        # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
        # alert, emerg.
        LogLevel warn

        CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined

    Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"
    <Directory "/usr/share/doc/">
        Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all
        Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
    </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

yes, I reloaded and restarted the apache but still the same..

Except in reverse. For me, domainname.com does not work but www.domainname.com works. Can someone please shed some light on this? I used the LAMP setup guide as well.

Do you have A records for both domainname.com and www.domainname.com pointing to the ip address of the webserver?
