Www or naked domain

Help

Hi @TheBruce

you need a certificate with the www domain name.

But the easiest solution:

  • Create the DNS A / AAAA entry www -> same ip address
  • add the www as ServerAlias / server_name to your port 80 vHost
  • same with your existing port 443 vHost
  • create one certificate with both domain names, perhaps use the --cert-name to overwrite your existing certificate
  • then add a redirect https + not preferred version -> https + preferred version

You can create two separate vHosts (port 80, non-www and www), same port 443 and two different certificates. But it's easier to have such a "two in one solution".
