Need Help on Creating a Virtual Host
Hi there,

I failed to create a virtual host. Here are the settings in httpd.conf file
for virtual host:

Listen 192.168.1.100:80
NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.100:80
<VirtualHost 192.168.1.100:80>
ServerName www.biorevelations.com
DocumentRoot /app/www/biorevelations
</VirtualHost>

Tested the configuration with "apachectl configtest" and returns "syntax
OK".

I guess the problem is the DNS setting on the system. I am on the Sun
Solaris machine. I would appreciate if anyone can help me to solve this
problem. Thanks in advance.

You need to have name servers for your domain... IE, you need to run a dns
server, or pay someone to run them for your domain.

I ran SimpleDNS for awhile on my domain and the program was great! You can
get a 14 day trial period to try it out!

You can find it at http://www.jhsoft.com/

Is your DNS pointing www.domainname.com anywhere or just domainname.com?

Re: Need Help on Creating a Virtual Host [ In reply to ]
Its a DNS error, you need to A. go into your domain setting and change the
name to something like ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com or you need to
create a cname that points to www.biorevelations.com

Your running your DNS server from the windows dns server? you must have
win2k server then?

Hi Darrel,

I have put biorevelations.com as a new zone in Windows DNS and created a
host www point to the IP address of the Unix server. I can ping
www.biorevelations.com from the remote machine and it did resolve to the
correct IP address. But, If I go to web and enter the URL
"http://www.biorevelations.com", it gives me a blank page. If I enter the
URL "http://www.biorevelations.com/index.htm", it gives an error "The page
cannot be found". Something is still wrong there. Thanks for the help.

Re: RE: Need Help on Creating a Virtual Host [ In reply to ]
On your unix server, look at the /etc/resolv.conf file and make sure it
points to the correct DNS.

You could also try adding www.biorevelations.com to your server's
/etc/hosts file to see if that fixes the problem. If it does, the
trouble's in DNS (or how your server's talking to DNS).

Good luck!

Hi,

Yes, we have a Windows 2000 Server and we are running DNS server on it. I
am sorry that I do not know how to add the "A" entry to the DNS. I would
appreciate very much if you can give me some instructions. Thanks.

Its a DNS error, you need to A. go into your domain setting and change the
name to something like ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com or you need to
create a cname that points to www.biorevelations.com

Your running your DNS server from the windows dns server? you must have
win2k server then?

Re: Need Help on Creating a Virtual Host [ In reply to ]
make sure the settings with whoever hosts your domain name for
biorevelations correctly state that there is a 'A' record for the www of
this that has your static IP in, or a cname for www that is a alias for just
http://biorevelations.com . in either case make sure your IP is set in the A
record, and also remember there is heavy caching on the net so it all
depends on how often your name providers dns is refreshed, took 3 days for
anything to change for me
