Ok, I feel like an idiot because this is probably a really simple solution. I have been working on this project for about 12 hours a day for the last 4 days and I just can't think straight right now.
I just got Virtualmin up last night currently hosting one virtual website.
If I go to example.com the site comes up no problems if I go to www.example.com I get Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at
I manually checked the virtual server file and actually swapped the server name from example.com to www.example.com
Same result
I use a dynamic IP host and added www. specifically even though I have a wildcard. I checked the Apache2 and example.com error logs with no avail.
If someone can give me a pointer where to look that would be appreciated. I can paste any info needed.
Thanks, Ryan
Howdy,
It sounds like you may be dealing with a DNS issue of some sort.
Are the nameservers for this domain hosted on your Virtualmin server, or at a third party?
If it's at a third party, you'd need to configure a DNS entry for 'www.example.com'.

create a CNAME record for www.domain.com.
Adding the CNAME worked.
Although prior to adding the CNAME I could ping both with and without the www and both returned reachable. I am not going to fight it though.
Thanks for the help with the brain fart :)
