Hi guys, if i enter http://mysite.com it shows:
Code:
It works!

This is the default web page for this server.

The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet.


If i enter www.mysite.com is fine, how to make the http://mysite.com work?

Thanks for any help.

Assuming you're using Apache, what does your /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default look like? Or, better yet, post the contents of all linked files inside /etc/apache2/sites-enabled (feel free to "censor out" your actual domain name and server paths, but make sure you keep the subdomain part of any domain names, such as "www", intact).

If I had to guess (without seeing what the actual config files look like), I'd say that ServerName and ServerAlias in the config file corresponding to your domain name only has one of these.

Inside /etc/apache2/sites-available/mysite

I see

Code:
ServerName mysite.com
ServerAlias www.mysite.com


Is that what you were guessing?
Thanks Neon

Are there links to any other files in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled? If so, what do they contain?

Grevan,

You might consider adjusting ServerAlias www.mysite.com to show ServerAlias www.mysite.com mysite.com

Ensure you have a DNS entry setup for mysite.com.

Remember to reload Apache when you're done.

You don't need to put the domain into ServerAlias when it's already in ServerName. And there is a DNS entry for mysite.com, since it does display a website (although from a different directory).

On that note, Grevan, please ensure that mysite.com is pointing to the same IP address as www.mysite.com.

Just open up a command prompt window and use the command nslookup (Windows) or host (Linux), followed by the hostname, once with the www, and once without it. Then, compare the results. If you're getting the same IP address for both lookups, you don't have to do anything.

Not to worry, that response is normal (since the host command also checks for MX records as well as A/CNAME).

What does the 000-default file look like? Is there a reference to your domain name in any ServerName or ServerAlias directives there?

And going back to the original mysite.com file; please do double-check the spelling of your domain name in both ServerName and ServerAlias, just to be sure.

1- The 000-default file in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled:
Quote:
<VirtualHost xxxxxxxxxxx: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>


There are no ServerName or ServerAlias there.

2- I double checked the names and their are fine

Try running apachectl -S and see what it comes up with. It should show a list of virtual hosts (without aliases).

It's usually located at /usr/sbin/apachectl, and you don't have to be in any specific directory to call it (but the /usr/sbin location would in $PATH for the root user).

Also, keep in mind that the parameter for the apachectl is an uppercase S (not lowercase).
