Hi may I know what is the difference between http://www.forums.duckyvideos.com and http://forums.duckyvideos.com ?
Actually I've created a new subdomain in my website. It is working fine when I try to access without www (i.e http://forums.duckyvideos.com) But when I try to give url like http://www.forums.duckyvideos.com it is showing page not found.
Why it is happen like this? Where can I clear this issue?
Thank you, Nagu
You have to create a cname for www.forums.duckyvideos.com and also configure your webserver to respond to that cname. There is nothing automatic about www prefixes on the web. It's just a convention that websites are accessible with or without the www. Everyone hosting a website has to explicitly set up a second cname for the www prefixed version of every site they put up.
If I am not mistaken, www. is also considerd a Subdomain, hence when you setup hosting on a provider (i.e Slicehost) they tell you to put www in the subdomain list (again if I am not mistaken). If you really want www.fourms.duckyetc you can set up a script to do some matching, i.e
if url contains www.fourms.ducketc then go to here else go somewhereelse
