Must use www for DNS entry using Amazon Route53

Question

I administered my domain e.g www.abcd.com in Amazon Route53. Everything works perfectly, except that when user type abcd.com without www, it won't get resolved. Any idea? Thanks

Answer 1

I think this might work:

Select an IPv4address and select the "Alias" radio button.

Leave the name field blank to indicate domain.com

Then the target is www.domain.com

I'll give it a try and let you know.

Answer 2

To have your domain.com (without www) on Amazon Route53 you need:

• Go to your record sets;
• Create a Record Set, type A - IPv4 Address;
• Put your domain.com or www.domain.com on value and save.

On my case I create a new record set for www.domain too, but with type CNAME and put my ec2 domain.

[update] If not work for you then you need to check your apache configuration. Check the ServerName and ServerAlias to allow *.yoursite.com or just www.yoursite.com. Don't forget restart your apache after changes.
