Resolve without www prefix

[sarm]

Hi,
I can get my domain only using

http://www---.

I would like to get my domain also without the

http://www prefix.

What do I need to add? I have rh7.1 thank you.

//FROM HTTPD
# Virtual host domain.com
<VirtualHost x.x.x.x>
DocumentRoot /home/domain/www/
ServerAdmin me@domain.com
ServerName

http://www.domain.com

</VirtualHost>


//ZONE FILE
$TTL 86400
@ IN SOA ns1.domain.com. hostmaster.domain.com. (
20010915; Serial
10800 ; Refresh after 3 hrs
3600 ; Retry after 1 hr
604800; Expire after 1 week
86400 ) ; Minimum ttl 1 day
IN NS ns1.domain.com.
IN A x.x.x.x
www IN A x.x.x.x
ftp IN A x.x.x.x
mail IN A x.x.x.x
IN MX 5 mail.domain.com.

i'm not so much into the dns records, but to configure apache to act on domain.com just add
&quot;ServerAlias domain.com&quot;
in the virtualhost section for your server
hope that helps, it's working for me

Hi,
I added -serveralias but didn't help, thanks anyway.
Must need to do something with the dns entry as well.

<VirtualHost x.x.x.x>
DocumentRoot /home/domain/www/
ServerAdmin me@domain.com
ServerName

http://www.domain.com

ServerAlias domain.com
</VirtualHost>

Hi!

I am trying to set up a Mandrake 8.1 plus Apache (of course ;-)....

The fully qualificated domain name is

http://www.mydomain.net

but I don't know how to set up the name of the PC

If I set up my domain name as mydomain.net, then my linux box simple name must be

http://www ?

Thanks... Arlequín

Hi,



Piti is right with ServerAlias but the syntax is wrong - you need something like this :



<VirtualHost x.x.x.x>

UseCanonicalname off

ServerName

http://www.mylovelydomain.com

ServerAlias mylovelydomain.com *.mylovelydomain.com

DocumentRoot /var/

http://www/html/vhost1

</VirtualHost>



With this setup any name that you point at your IP address (e.g. abc.mylovelydomain.com) will be redirected to the

http://www.mylovelydomain.com

virtual host, including just mylovelydomain.com . You must get those addresses to resolve via dns, however.



Regards

Ok, I have changed to whats shown below but still doesn't resolve to domain.com
I suspect I need to change my dns info but what do I change or add. If I try to add a line like
domain.com. IN A x.x.x.x I get out of zone data in error log.

<VirtualHost x.x.x.x>
DocumentRoot /home/domain/www/
ServerAdmin me@domain.com
ServerName

http://www.domain.com

ServerAlias domain.com *.mydomain.com
</VirtualHost>



$TTL 86400
@ IN SOA ns1.domain.com. hostmaster.domain.com. (
20010915; Serial
10800 ; Refresh after 3 hrs
3600 ; Retry after 1 hr
604800; Expire after 1 week
86400 ) ; Minimum ttl 1 day
IN NS ns1.domain.com.
IN A x.x.x.x
www IN A x.x.x.x
ftp IN A x.x.x.x

thanks

Hi,

You just need a line added like :

domain.com.     IN    A     x.x.x.x

(Note the period after the .com - that prevents the domain name being added to the end - like your ns1.domain.com. entry )

Regards

Hi ifincham,

If I try to add line like you suggest above I check
/var/log/messages I see the new entry with
ignoring-out-of-zone-data.

Not sure what exactly this means though. Nothing I add seems to work.

Thanks for your help though

Still no success.

Does anyone have this going under rh7.1 ???
