help with host name

Post #1 of 5 (897 views)

I can only access the apache by it's IP on the PC installing apache.
(from other pc in the LAN, I can't access, but it's not a problem, since
I only use it as local test).
My problem is that I can't access the apache by inputting the hostname ,
for example, my redhat PC's host name is set to escortLinux. IP is
172.20.30.155. how to make the apache page appear by putting
http://escortLinux ? I have set the serverName directive to
escortLinux.

is the name escortLinux registered in the dns? what happens if you type
'ping escortlinux' on the machine you're trying to browse the server
from?

you also need a dns (or hosts) entry that points to escortlinux...
