You would add to the httpd.conf "NameVirtualHost ipaddr:port" then:
<VirtualHost ipaddr:port> ServerName hordebusters.net DocumentRoot /path/to/files ... </VirtualHost> As for DNS, you would either need to use a DNS service and setup an A record set to your server IP address. If you want to host your own DNS, you'll need to get a DNS service running on your PC, setup the nameservers, and need multiple IP addresses (two). Check out http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/ for VirtualHost help. ---- Graham Frank Neoservers LLC - Founder and Owner Ph: (608) 359-1593 Member of the Better Business Bureau -----Original Message----- From: Jeffery Poblocki [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, July 21, 2007 6:29 PM To: users@httpd.apache.org Subject: Re: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Newbie problems, trying to get Apache HTTP Server working so if i whave a registered site say hordebusters.net i have to put in a virtual host to get it to display??? what about the dns nameservers and all of that. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Graham Frank" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <users@httpd.apache.org> Sent: Saturday, July 21, 2007 5:57 PM Subject: RE: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Newbie problems, trying to get Apache HTTP Server working > Hello, > > The file you are seeing is the index.html file stored in ~httpd/htdocs. > > To setup domains, you need to add <VirtualHost> directives to your > ~httpd/conf/httpd.conf file. > > Also, where are you hosting this?
