Apache DNS question

External Since: Nov 25, 2003 Posts: 2

Hi.

I searched through the archives but did not see a problem like mine,
which is weird because I'd assume it was a common one.

I'm running an Apache server, 2.0.47, and can access my website just
fine, locally or off the computer, throught my ip address. I cannot,
however, access it through my domain name. Doing a WHOIS search shows
that there is a nameserver attached to my domain, but nothing in the
Apache configuration files mentions anything about attaching a
maneserver to my ip address. Looking through apache.org didn't shed
any light on my problem, either.

Basically, my question is this: how do I connect my ip address to my
domain name, so that typing my domain name will display my web page?

Thanks in advance,

Conrad

So, if you do ping yourdomainhere, did you receive an answer from
your Apache server? If so, you're fine. If not, fix your DNS to
correctly resolv the domain to the ip.

Because isn't Apache the problem.

Configuring your DNS or having whoever mantain such DNS do it for you.
