I just got brand new VPS, and i don't know how to make domains working without "www." before domain it. It's working only with www.domain.com, domain.com is not working. I'm using Plesk. Please advice..


Have a nice day,

I believe there's a way to have the server rewrite non-www-s to www-s. It should be in the Apache mod-rewrite docs somewhere, and in tutorials.

Plesk on Apache or Windows?

Apache

I'd be no help, I'm a Windows admin. Sorry.

The Plesk Support forums are pretty good for help as well.

I found this (one of many pages I'm sure) that has what you are looking for under "Canonical Hostnames" http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/misc/rewriteguide.html

I don't have acces to this files. I can do it thru Plesk. But don't know how

in an htaccess file (assuming you're allowed this) in your web root......

It is due to httpd.conf wrong configuration for your domain. Just do the following:

httpd.conf file and edit that.

Find the "domain.com"

Now, find:
And Check whether the following line is just at the end of that para or not:
If you are using linux the apache conf will be here:

Only problem with using ServerAlias is that it sets up a 302 redirect. The .htaccess rewrite can be configured to a 301 which is of course the correct redirect for search engine kindness.

what i told

same goes, and i saw he is having vps, and it is always better to use the httpd.conf file. Although Servername also need to be checked for www to be working.

Usually,
You could leave it alone, the main reason for one working but not the other is the DNS not fulling updating yet. Assuming, at this time of the post, you just got the VPS and just changed the Nameservers to it, for the first 24 hours it may just work on www. then as it finishes it should work on both however it doesn't restart your computer. If you are still facing Apache problems, look into httpd.conf file and edit a few settings. I would name them, but posts above explain how to do so.

Quite interesting you know. How this DNS not fulling updating yet, then how his site will work

Although it is totally a problem regarding the apache configuration. And i hope it should be fixed already As there are still no reply from the author.
