I'm new to using nginx, well, new to using anything that's not cpanel... I'm having problems getting domains to work using nginx when you include www. in the url.

```
www.mydomain.com > not work 404
mydomain.com > works

```

I'm not sure if I have made mistake with named config files, or the server config for nginx. I'm kinda learning in a hurry and I'm not going to be surprised if I made some error with basic configuration. I run latest nginx & php-fpm, apart from my domain issue it works. 

I'm (trying?) to run subdomains, they work, but using www. will result in a 404. I use nameservers etc from my main *.org* server domain.
I'm going to post all that is relevant below in the hope someone here can spot the errors I am making/or made. 

```
etc/hosts 
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain localhost
::1             localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
184.xxx.xxx.146 server.servername.org servername.org 

```

named.conf

```
   ... 
   view "localhost_resolver" {
/* This view sets up named to be a localhost resolver ( caching only nameserver ).
 * If all you want is a caching-only nameserver, then you need only define this view:
 */
   # match-clients         { 127.0.0.0/24; };
   # match-destinations    { localhost; };
   match-clients      { any; };
   match-destinations { any; };
   recursion no;

        zone "servername.org" {
                type master;
                file "/var/named/servername.org.db";
        };

// optional - we act as the slave (secondary) for the delegated domain
zone "mydomain.com" IN {
  type slave;
  file "/var/named/mydomain.com.db";
  masters {10.10.0.24;};
}; 
allow-notify { 184.xxx.xxx.146; };
};

```

nginx.conf uses include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/\*;
and the nginx "mydomain.com" config

```
server {
    server_name www.mydomain.com;
    rewrite ^(.*) http://mydomain.com$1 permanent;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name mydomain.com www.mydomain.com;

   # access_log /srv/www/mydomain.com/logs/access.log;
    error_log /srv/www/mydomain.com/logs/error.log;
    root /srv/www/mydomain.com/public_html;
    set $noadmin 1;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
        index index.html index.htm index.php;
    }

    # Add trailing slash to */wp-admin requests.
    rewrite /wp-admin$ $scheme://$host$uri/ permanent;

     location ~ \.flv$ {
            flv;
            root /srv/www/mydomain.com/public_html;
     }

     location ~ \.mp4$ {
            root /srv/www/mydomain.com/public_html;
            mp4;
     }

     # use fastcgi for all php files
        location ~ \.php$ {
        try_files $uri =404;
        fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /srv/www/mydomain.com/public_html$fastcgi_script_name;
        include fastcgi_params;
   }

# deny access to apache .htaccess files
    location ~ /\.ht
    {
        deny all;
    }
}

```

I can access subdomains, so my horrible attempt at this seems to be kind of working, I am stuck on why www.mydomain.com will not connect, while <http://mydomain.com> will. I am reading/learning more as I go along, I do not want to make changes until I have understanding of what the changes do. I may end up breaking more then the URLs.
