Domain name usage question ?

[Dave Tiger]

Hi Steve,

I have done this and restarted bind / apache to make the changes active =
but
something is not working.

Http.conf

example.com IN A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
www IN CNAME example.com.

Virtual host
=20
ServerName www.example.com
ServerAlias www.example.com example.com

Could it be the ServerName ?

Any further help or advise is appreciated.=20

It=92s the major dilemma of the day for my boss... :-)

Thank you

Dave Carrera

1) In your httpd.conf  (Virtual Hosts declaration) add the line: =
ServerAlias
www.example.com example.com example.net www.example.net

2) In your DNS Zone file make the "A" record point to example.com and=20
add a "CNAME" for www to point at example.com
E.G.
example.com   IN A   x.x.x.x
www               IN   CNAME   example.com.    (Note the trailing dot)

Hope that answers the question
