I'll stay out of the arguing part...
True enough that the site works with one URL but you can enter with anything that gets you to the right server. You then get a redirect after the first link.
I'm a little confused about your added /www/ part. If that is ok for you and the site is configured for it ok. But a few tips:
Try to configure the backend so you don't need added directory name to get to the site initially.
Configure the server to allow all the variations domain.com, www.domain.com xxx.xxx.xxx.xx IP etc to hit the same place. The XOOPS config will take it from there.
For my server I do this: I configure a virtual server that answers to all the possible variations except the one configured in Xoops. That virtual server then simply does a redirect to the real one:
httpd.conf:
<VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xx:80>
ServerName www.domain.com
ServerAlias test.domain.com private.otherdomain.com
Redirect /
http://domain.com/</VirtualHost>
This makes a cleaner look to the user. It also prevents some double logins that can happen when a user comes in with certain URLs. The real server is configured normally.
