Search Again: Re: main domain routing question Part2 From: John Readwin Date: Tuesday, February 6, 2001 Time: 12:52:20 pm Christopher, thanks for the quick response, worked perfect I knew it was something simple. One other quick question, How do get http://www.domain.com to show up as http://domain.com I tried creating a cname that points www.domain.com to domain.com (which in turn has the A record pointing the server IP) In web* I simply have the virtual domain setup to point to domain.com, but if I try to go www.domain.com then I get an error as if the domain doesn't exist. If I set up a second virtual host in web* for www.domain.com it works, but still shows in the browser as www.domain.com. >On 02/06/01 at 13:25, John Readwin wrote: > >> How do I get a domain to be accessible via http://domain.com as well >> as http://www.domain.com ? >> I have the DNS set as follows >> >> I have it set up as a virtual host with the following cname records >> domain.com pointing to www.maindomain.com > >By that, I take it you have a CNAME pointing domain.com. at >www.maindomain.com.?
