www problem and apache rewrite rule doesn't work anymore !

[regisg]

Hello,

New problem since migration to 10.0.1 :

My website is no longer accessible from the url http://[B]www[/B].munci.org => we get the plesk Web Server's Default Page !

Before, my site was accessible both with http://[B]www[/B].munci.org and http://munci.org

I note that the checkbox www has disapeared in the domain configuration of the Plesk panel

Moreover, this rewrite rule doesn't work anymore in the .htacess :
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.(.+)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [QSA,R=301,L]
This is very strange !!!

Finally, is it nornal that the name of the httpd.include in the conf folfer of the domain became :
/var/www/vhosts/munci.org/conf/12898969740.18212100_httpd.include ??
This name has not been changed in the subdomains (still httpd.include)

THX FOR YOUR HELP.

Hi!

Since version 10.0.0 configuration schema for WWW prefix has been changed in Parallels Plesk Panel.

Domain is available with WWW prefix (http://www.<DOMAIN NAME>) and record ServerAlias "www.<DOMAIN NAME>" is added into Apache configuration only if CNAME DNS record for "www.<DOMAIN NAME>" exists in domain's DNS zone.

So the solution is:
1) to remove A 'www' record for a domain in the database;
2) create CNAME 'www' record using plesk utility dns;
3) reconfigure webhosting configuration using websrvmng;

Please find below an example for the domain domain.com:

server:~# mysql -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` psa
Reading table information for completion of table and column names
You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A

There is a new command you can but I we used the old /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng.

So you need to go through this procedure for every domain.

This solved the problem for me. Anyway you can change the DNS on the web interface also.

Best wishes.

Hi Sandor,

Thanks a lot for your great solution !

In my case, i had only to create CNAME 'www' record using plesk utility dns (2).
No need to remove A 'www' record for the domain in the database (1), neither to reconfigure webhosting configuration using websrvmng (3)...

Best regards.

Thank you

Your solution also worked for me. I just modified the 'A' entry to a 'CNAME' and I went through the rest of the process just to be sure it worked and so far it's done the job.

Thank you
