URL access issues (www)

radixio

Hello, everyone. I recently installed the system and realized that when accessed the site by domain name (without www) everything works normally, but with the WWW some assets are not found (fonts) and all calls to API return 404.

My server is from digital ocean, and there is configured as follows:

nameofsite > Redirect to > server IP
www.nameofsite > Redirect to > server IP

And in the config.php of the installation:

' url ' = > ' Http://nameofsite '.

Is there anything I can do so that when the user enters with or without the WWW The system normally works?

Thank you

Finally managed to solve the problem, just a configuration in Apache (I don't have much experience with it).

The procedure is described in:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-redirect-www-to-non-www-with-apache-on-ubuntu-14-04

Thank you, you can mark it as solved.

Just in case it's useful, I had a problem where the non-www URL of my forum wasn't working properly but it was fine with the www prefix in the URL.

I managed to force inclusion of the "www" by adding the following lines to my .htaccess file (my forum is hosted on 1and1):

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