why my www does not go to the same place?

[franka]

why my www.mydomain goes to a different page.

i had created a *.mydomain.com cname yesterday. i thought that would do it. is the wild card going to do this or i need to make a www cname.

ok i took the furthur step of going to the httpd.include of my domain and added
ServerAlias *.mydomain.com
but it seems that i might have done something wrong. because i just changed the www.mydomain.com to *.mydomain.com
will this work. do i have to do anything else?

I would suggest using the following:

A. In your DNS:
* A record for mydomain.com => your site's IP
* CNAME or A record for www.mydomain.com (I prefer using an A record, but either will work)

In Apache config:

<VirtualHost 12.34.56.78>
    ServerName mydomain.com
    ServerAlias www www.mydomain.com
    ...
</VirtualHost>

The actual syntax of your <VirtualHost> directive may vary based on your control panel, Apache version, etc. You should leave everything as it is, just making sure that your specify the server name and aliases appropriately.
