OK I am new at this, so a small question!

**Dark_Angel** · 10-18-2006, 06:05 AM

Hey,

I have not built a webpage from scratch before, and have the basics up and running, one thing is starting to bother me though, I cant access my webpage correctly from http:// only by typing in http://www

If I type in just http://daartsloft.com I get a confirmation that Apache is running perfectly. If I type www.daartsloft.com then it works completely fine, and is auto routed to a basic index.html I created last night to test if everything is working.

I added the index.html page in to the www folder in my site manager.

What am I missing, sorry if its a really stupidly easily question, I usually do graphic design, and am new to this HTML stuff

Weill you should not have to redirect it.

What plan are you on? It does not sound like apache was set up right or there is a dns problem somewhere

the redirect will mask the problem, but it is not fixed

I am on the longhorn plan.

Could the problem be with my Domain Name Registration? I am using AltetiaNIC BTW.

I was given an IP address, so in the DNS Settings on the domain name, I added this:

* (other) A 69.73.xxx.100
@ (none) A 69.73.xxx.100
www A 69.73.xxx.100
@ (none) URL http://www.daartsloft.com/index.html

The www one was already there, so I changed the others to see if that helped, the redirect seems to be working though fine.

Sounds like you're managing your DNS on your own. There's probably no reason for you to do that. Unless thre's a special reason you need to manage them on your own, I'd suggest that you point your domain to the JaguarPC nameservers:

ns.nocdirect.com
ns2.nocdirect.com
ns3.nocdirect.com
ns4.nocdirect.com

This is driving me completely insane, maybe I am missing something?

I aimed the DNS settings at the nocdirect.com as you suggested, it did not work, so I resorted back to my old settings, figuring that I will just make do for the time being. Grrrrr.. now its not working at all

Even if I type in the www at the start, now it only loads if I specify index.html at the end. Anyone have any suggestions?

Need to notify JagPC Support and you need to know what nameserver its setup on.

Welcome to the Wacky World of Web!

Change your nameservers to:

ns.nocdirect.com
ns2.nocdirect.com

...and leave them alone!

It takes 24-72 hours for the changes to propagate...

Well, thats done, so lets see if that works.

I will read the help files... meanwhile *watches scrubs*

Thanks a lot BTW all! these forums rock TBH

Could be an Apache setup problem, too. Open a ticket and ask support if both daartsloft.com and www.daartsloft.com are pointing to the right place in Apache.

But first, Turn off your redirections! First off, you still have daartsloft.com redirecting to www.daartsloft.com, but you also have www.daartsloft.com redirecting to itself!

So, you've got an endless loop setup:
