If u have to access DNS settings for your domain name, e.g.: godaddy Total DNS control.. You should change DNS settings to your IP adress and change Servername in httpdconf file. e.g. Servername yourdomainname

Hi I already have a domain name mcbk.edu.hk it works when people acces it using http://mcbk.edu.hk but not http://www.mcbk.edu.hk What shoulf I do to have the WWW to work ?

Thanks

Set up an alias in your DNS records to point *.mcbk.edu.hk to mcbk.edu.hk then use a serveralias statement in your http config.

Thanks for the tip -
I'm Pretty new at this - But where should I change the alias in my DNS records ? if I'm using windows and If I'm using Linux ? Is it on the webserver itself or elsewhere ?
