Not positive, but probably the DNS as I have noticed this before. IF the site is new, give it a day to work. If it isn't new contact your host.

First, make sure www.mydomain.com and mydomain.com resolves to the same IP address (use the ping tool under windows or nslookup under unix). If it does, it's not a DNS problem so check apache configuration.

if its a virtual host in apache, make sure you have a
ServerName mydomain.com
ServerAlias www.mydomain.com
(or vice-versa) in httpd.conf


Hope this helps...

Have your host make an A record for your domain...

Just add this line to your DNS file, restart bind and you should be ok:
www 14400 IN CNAME mydomain.com.

It looks like it is working now. If you still have problems try an nslookup and if that shows the right info, then check your apache configuration file for the proper entry on the servername directive.
