"ServerName" and "ServerAlias".

[hack3rcon]

Hello,
In Apache configuration, both of "ServerName" and "ServerAlias" must be defined?

ServerName: Hostname and port that the server uses to identify itself.
ServerAlias: Alternate names for a host used when matching requests to name-virtual hosts.

ServerName can accept port numbers as well, while ServerAlias cannot.
ServerAlias can accept wildcards (eg. *.mywebsite.com), while ServerName cannot.

"ServerName" should have "www" or "ServerAlias" ? For example, www.example.com

Thank you.

ServerName is required for proper host handling, while ServerAlias is optional.

Servername should have "www"?

It may have a www or it may not. It depends on your setup and requirements. Most people use ServerAlias for the www.

"depends on your setup and requirements" ? How can I understand it need "www" or not?

It's *your* server. You should know this. In fact, ONLY you can know this.

Excuse me, I can't understand it.
If a web site name is "mydomain.net" then how about the configuration?

Do *you* want to be able to use the server by both names? If not then you only need to tell it to use the one that you want it to use. If you want it to be known as both then you need to tell it so.
