When you say 2 names do you mean floheating.co.uk and www.floheating.co.uk.

rg305 · January 12, 2021, 3:49pm

Interesting...
Please show the top 5 lines from these files:
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/floheating.co.uk.conf
/etc/apache2/sites-available/floheating.co.uk.conf

rg305 · January 12, 2021, 3:52pm

make that 10 lines if needed
far enough to see the domain names

the picture above cutoff the first eight lines

They both have both names!
You must not have restarted apache
Try:
service restart apache2

kes · January 12, 2021, 3:57pm

sudo systemctl restart apache2

Change this:

To:
ServerName floheating.co.uk www.floheating.co.uk

and restart apache:
systemctl restart apache2

kes · January 12, 2021, 4:04pm

as I restart apache it comes back with

Job for apache2.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status apache2.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

rg305 · January 12, 2021, 4:04pm

OK!
Change it to:
ServerAlias floheating.co.uk www.floheating.co.uk

[and restart apache]

and show again:
apachectl -S

kes · January 12, 2021, 4:06pm

done that

Now it shows the google virtual server instance

Man when Apache wants to play stupid it wins!
Add this line above the alias:
ServerName X
and restart and re show:
apachectl -S

kes · January 12, 2021, 4:09pm

done that and done an apache restart

O M G !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is why I hate Apache!!!!!!

rg305 · January 12, 2021, 4:59pm

I guess we can built it as two separate sites that do the exact same thing.
Server the same content.
Or forward one to the other.

kes · January 12, 2021, 5:06pm

is there an apache cache I can flush

rg305 · January 12, 2021, 5:06pm

For that copy the current config to use as www
cd /etc/apache2/sites-available/
cp floheating.co.uk.conf www.floheating.co.uk.conf
then modify them so that the www says only:
ServerName www.floheating.co.uk
and the original say only:
ServerName floheating.co.uk

Enable the WWW site:
a2ensite www.floheating.co.uk.conf
restart apache
reshow:
apachectl -S

rg305 · January 12, 2021, 5:07pm

That would be nice - an Apache fix-all ! ! !

kes · January 12, 2021, 5:09pm

Wandering if this might be becasue previously with the forst site www and non-www both worked, and worked with ssl, and these three lines

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =floheating.co.uk [OR]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =www.floheating.co.uk
#RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent]

work conditionally, upon the last line being un-commented/ enabled

rg305 · January 12, 2021, 5:11pm

Has nothing to do with that
It's just Apache being Apache!

Instead of two files (with two names in each).
We will have four files (with one name in each).

In the end it is all the same to the visitor

kes · January 12, 2021, 5:23pm

done that, but after browser cache clean and web page re-load on chrome browser to www. floheating. co. uk does not show www. . just plain old floheating.co.uk
