Apache2 www. works but http:// redirects to other website

[Sp32]

Hi, on my server I have two websites

I only just added the second website today

the first website that I added a couple of months ago works flawlessly

this new website works almost flawlessly.

I added the new website in apache but for some reason when I go to it's url without www. it redirects to the other website on my server

when I use www. it works fine

Please help me, I've been messing about with server stuff for hours so I am at the point where I am getting that "will this ever end" feeling

Check virtual hosts records, compare them..

Thanks for replying, I've done that and they're both the same apart from being in different directories and having different domains

Are you sure you have defined in the hosts file for your new site:
www.yoursite.com. IN A xx.xx.xx.xxx ?

If it's just "yoursite.com." it won't work with www.

By hosts I'm guess my apache2.conf? If so I have:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.x.com
ServerAlias x.com www.x.com http://x.com
DocumentRoot /var/x/
ErrorLog logs/x.com-error_log
CustomLog logs/x.com-access_log combined
ServerAdmin admin@x.com
</VirtualHost>


<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.x.org
ServerAlias x.org www.x.org
DocumentRoot /var/x/
ErrorLog logs/x.org-error_log
CustomLog logs/x.org-access_log combined
ServerAdmin admin@x.org
</VirtualHost>

Your SOA records for "TheU********Forum" are fine, and site works with and without www, or are you talking about other Website? Just check its SOA records, if there's "www.yoursite.com." line, it'll work..

Lol, thanks, I can't believe this, I've been searching around all over my server trying to figure out what I've done wrong and I hadn't done anything wrong it was just my lame browser not working properly..

I tested in IE and http:// worked fine first time..

Thanks for that J, I appreciate it +rep'd

Also how did you find out my domain (Just curious)

Checked the IP..
