Non-Fully Qualified Redirects

[MSRez]

I have a problem on a server whereby if I try to open a non-fully qualified URL e.g.

http://www.example.com/path,

I am redirected to

http://example.com/path/

instead of

http://www.example.com/path/

It is causing problems on domains that don't have their DNS set up in such a way as to allow viewing without the 'www' subdomain.

Does anyone know what causes this?

Thanks

http://www is

simply an A record, nothing more.

So you must have an A record for www, but your ServerName is incorrect, or it is just doing a reverse lookup on the IP and using that as ServerName? If ServerName is correct you don't need to do any redirecting with www, (most times it is the reverse, you want to rewrite ALL requests to

http://wwww.
