My website does not appear when I navigate to www.url.com, but it does work for url.com

This is my lighttpd config:

$HTTP["host"] =~ "^url.com$" {
  server.document-root = "/home/a/www/url.com"
  server.error-handler-404 = "/index.php"
}

Emthigious is only partially correct,

$HTTP["host"] =~ "url.com$" {

is a somewhat ambiguous match it would match www.url.com but it would also match

  • anotherurl.com
  • someotherurl.com
  • mail.url.com

etc

a better solution would be:

    $HTTP["host"] =~ "^(www\.)?url.com$" {

This will only match:

  • url.com
  • www.url.com

emills is right, you'll have to change the regex to 

$HTTP["host"] =~ "url.com$" {

Now everything that ends with "url.com" wil be caught by the host-definition.

I don't know much about lighttpd but the ^ at the beginning of "^url.com$" looks like it means "starts with" which means that only exactly "url.com" will be accepted by that declaration.

Who manages the authoritative name server url.com? You could just add an entry for 'www' pointing to your web server.
