www. works, but http://site.com doesnt

[killaklown]

Im working on a new site and I was always checking the site with the www. infront, (its been up for atleast 4 days) but today i went and checked the site without the www. and it is showing:

Great Success !
Apache is working on your cPanel® and WHM™ Server

and a bunch of other stuff about it. How can I make it work?

i think it is only a problem of browser catches.
nothing else.

Agree with you here.

Hello. Maybe 301 rdirect

I'm pretty sure the www part is assigned by the web host as your domain is just entered in the registry as domain.com not www.domain.com.
I suggest you check with your web host on this.
Although it may be a propagation issue.

That depends. If www.domain.com is in your zone file as an A record (the recommended way), then it's up to you to map non-www to www via a 3xx redirect (as stated by Ahosting.biz). If it's a CNAME record (e.g., an alias), it'll be handled "automagically", but aliasing in the zone file isn't recommended, and you'll even get some nice warnings from dnsreport about it to boot

Things can also get messy with url rewriting, another reason you're better off having the www version as an A record and handling everything yourself with mod_rewrite rules.

You can redirect http://site.com to www and solve this problem.

#redirect from non-www to www

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