Symlinks Redirect to http://domain rather than http://www.domain 1

[MSRez]

Hi,

I have some symlinks set up and when accessing them on my domain e.g.

http://www.domain.com/symlink,

Apache seems to redirect to

http://domain.com/symlink

How do I stop this from happening?

Thanks

Check your directives for 'UseCanonicalName' and 'ServerName'

Thanks. I updated the ServerName from domain.com to

http://www.domain.com

and it does what I want it to do. I'm not sure if that will have any effects I'm not aware of though.

I think the DNS is incorrectly configured because I can't access the domain through

http://domain.com

but I don't have direct access to it to change it so I think this solution works for now.

If you use ServerName as

http://www.domain.com

and ServerAlias as domain.com, apache should answer to both as long as the DNS is configured accordingly.
