Server alias not working on apache, ubuntu 14.04 server, Amazon AWS

Question

I have a remote ubuntu server on Amazon AWS, and I am enabling a site using a2ensite. I have a conf file in my /etc/apache2/sites-available/001-mysite.conf My servername and server alias is laid out like this

ServerName 4techgroups.com  #Works
ServerAlias www.4techgroups.com #Doesn't work http://4techgroups.com #works

    <Directory /var/www/html/site1>
            AllowOverride All
    </Directory>

I don't know why I can't access www.4techgroups.com while 4techgroups.com works. Could it be because it is a amazon AWS server.

@AlexD Go to www.4techgroups.com //which doest find the address Go to 4techgroups.com without the www and it goes to the desired address. That is not working. — Sanjok Gurung, Jun 01 '17 at 10:25

Your domain 4techgroups.com hasn't got DNS record about host www. Simply add it to your domain with same ip address as 4techgroups.com has. Read documentation at Updating DNS Support for Your VPC

Thank you @Mikhail . That was exactly what was missing, I had to update my dns record and add www.4techgroups.com as a value. Thanks you and apologies for late response. – Sanjok Gurung Jun 06 '17 at 09:34
