'www' prefix

Hi all,

For some reason, I have to create two VirtualHost configurations in
order to cover those who include 'www' and those who don't. Here is my
configuration for a domain name:

<VirtualHost 66.199.183.31:80>
User orgelcomm
Group users
ServerName elcommunity.org
Setenv VLOG /home/orgelcomm/logs
DocumentRoot /home/orgelcomm/public_html
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 66.199.183.31:80>
User orgelcomm
Group users
ServerName www.elcommunity.org
Setenv VLOG /home/orgelcomm/logs
DocumentRoot /home/orgelcomm/public_html
</VirtualHost>

Is it possible to make these two into one? I tried using wildcards and
so on, and haven't been able to find anything in the docs to help me.

Apache signature:

Server Version: Apache/1.3.31 (Unix) (Gentoo/Linux) mod_ssl/2.8.19
OpenSSL/0.9.7d PHP/4.3.8
Server Built: Aug 24 2004 17:31:47

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Max

Yes, see the documentation related to ServerAlias.

to Max I now respond:

Very simple.

<VirtualHost 66.199.183.31:80>
User orgelcomm
Group users
ServerName elcommunity.org
ServerAlias www.elcommunity.org
Setenv VLOG /home/orgelcomm/logs
DocumentRoot /home/orgelcomm/public_html
</VirtualHost>

If you are using cookies, be aware visitors alternating between
www.elcommunity.org and elcommunity.org may run into trouble. Either make
cookies for the domain elcommunity.org or rewrite their URL to always have
www upfront.
