Adding a server alias to http.cong 1

[bazil2]

(Elementary User)

I would like my webserver to respond to an alias name.

Currently under the main section, I have the following entry:

ServerName my.domain.com

However, I would also like it to respond to:

http://www.mydomain.com

After reading the Apache help notes, it would seem I need to make this entry using tags like this:

<VirtualHost>
ServerAlias

http://www.mydomain.com

</VirtualHost>

Have I understood this correctly?

Best regards

Yes, for adding a 'www' subdomain that will work. As long as your server responds to mydomain.com, you can specify an alias for sub domain before the .mydomain.com and it will respond.

Do you already have things working on mydomain.com? If not, in order to get that working you need to register with a public DNS and if you are behind a router set up port forwarding.
