Answer 1

With the current version of apache, you need to do the following, which has changed compared to the previous versions:

cd /etc/apache2/sites-enabled

Now find the config file for your domain and edit it (the first three lines after <VirtualHost *:80> is what we need here):

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName www.yourdomain.com
        ServerAlias yourdomain.com *.yourdomain.com
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

        <Directory />
                Options FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride None
        </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

And now after saving changes to the file, you should reload Apache we server configuration with:

service apache2 reload

and it'll work!

P.S. You may also want not to add *.yourdomain.com to the end of your ServerAlias line.

All you need is to add the following code to your root .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

Answer 4

You need to change any full urls to paths. If your php include or other processes are linked using urls, it will only work one way.

$.ajax(
{       
    url:'/LAYOUT/process.php'
}

as oppose to the full url

$.ajax(
{       
    url:'https://www.yourdomain.com/LAYOUT/process.php'
}

Using a simple path will allow it to work both ways with or without www.
