We solved this by putting a ServerAlias in the VirtualHost config in httpd.conf
ServerAlias www.jakeg.org jakeg.org

Hi,

Before you shout at me, I'm seen various threads on this already and
tried all the solutions but they're still not bloody working. I've
been trying to get this working for about 2 hours now.

I've setup a new server, jakeg.org, and http://www.jakeg.org is
working fine. As is http://[anything].jakeg.org. But I can't get good
ol' http://jakeg.org without a subdomain at the front.

Here's my Master File:
[snip]
$TTL 14400
;
@    IN    SOA    ns.jakeg.org. hostmaster.jakeg.org. (
            2004021103
            10800
            3600
            604800
            86400 )
; name servers for domain
        IN    NS    ns.jakeg.org.
        IN    NS    ns2.jakeg.org.

; mail server for user at domain
        IN    MX    5  mail.jakeg.org.
; set domain = www.domain
        IN    A    217.199.184.151
; Addresses of hosts
*.jakeg.org.    IN    A    217.199.184.151
ns        IN    A    217.199.184.151
ns2        IN    A    217.199.184.151
mail        IN    A    217.199.184.151
www        IN    A    217.199.184.151
ftp        IN    CNAME    www


[/snip]

I've tried adding the following, trial and error, but none work (and
I'm sure *.jakeg.org. for subdomains isn't perfect, but at least it
works for now):

*.    IN    A    217.199.184.151
*    IN    A    217.199.184.151
    IN    A    217.199.184.151
@    IN    A    217.199.184.151
*jakeg.org.    IN    A    217.199.184.151
*org.    IN    A    217.199.184.151

I'm using BIND DNS 9.2.1, making changes through Webmin, and I click
'Apply Changes' (restarts BIND) after I make changes.

PLEASE!!!! Somebody help me :(

Jake.
