You have to question some confusion, so I'll talk about ways to do a redirect from www to no-www:

1.Create two VirtualHost for two domains and use 301 redirect:

NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example.com
DocumentRoot "/path/to/site"
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example.com Redirect 301 / example.com/ </VirtualHost>


2.Create two VirtualHost for two domains and use .htaccess with redirect-rule:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example.com
DocumentRoot "/path/to/site1"
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example.com DocumentRoot "/path/to/site2"
</VirtualHost>


and create /path/to/site2/.htaccess with

Redirect 301 / example.com/

3.Create 1 VirtualHost and set redirect in common .htaccess:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias example.com DocumentRoot "/path/to/site"
</VirtualHost>


create /path/to/site/.htaccess with

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ example.com/ [R=301,L]
