Adding the www prefix

Hi All,

I am working on a new server and I am not sure what I have done
wrong. I can get to the server with servername.com, but not with
www.servername.com.

Since this is the default site I added just the ServerName
servername.com and ServerAlias www.servername.com the <VirtualHost *>
stanza.

However, I still cannot get apache to recognize the www.servername.com.
Is there something in Bind that I have to setup? Or is it in something
in the VirtualHost stanza?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Brian

Yes. "www" has to exist in your zone and map to your web server address.

No.
