Setup Apache so Virtual host website can be access without typing www. 1

[iteach2]

Hi Gurus,

I have set up multiple virtual host and would like for them to be able to be pulled up without typing www. in the web address. Ex. Instead of typing

http://www.mywebsite.com

you can just put mywebsite.com and it the name will resolve.

I am currently using the the following;

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin me@email.com
    DocumentRoot C:\webs\mysite.com
    ServerName [URL unfurl="true"]www.mysite.com[/URL]
    ServerAlias mysite.com *.mysite.com
    ErrorLog logs/mysite.com-error_log
    CustomLog logs/mysite.com-access_log common
    <Directory D:\webs\mysite.com>
    	    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks +Includes +ExecCGI
	    AllowOverride None
    	    Order allow,deny
	    Allow from all
	</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Is there anything I need to change or add?

The ServerName & ServerAlias are what you need for apache & that looks correct. I'm not sure about the *.mysite.com though, I'm not sure that apache will accept wildcards this way.

The additional item that will be needed is not related to apache - correct DNS resolution set for both mysite.com &

http://www.mysite.com

Thank smah,

I heard that about the DNS but was unsure. Thank you for clearing that up for me. I appreciate your time.
