Enom IP settings for Apache website blogpage on Centos RedHat

[mozung]

I am a newbie and trying to get my website online by using this tutorial on this link.

http://www.xenocafe.com/tutorials/linux/centos/apache_web_server/index.php

 

I might be wrong but this what i did.

 

I used my LAN address 192.168.1.101 through out the httpd configuration file.

 

on the other hand, at Enom settings, I used my real IP address for A address in record type.

 

I dont know if that is right or wrong but I am trying best to my common sense and limited knowledge.

 

For right now, I am just trying to get my website be online by using Enom settings.

As far as my understanding, I am using DNS services of Enom and webhosting of apache at my server.

 

Also when i run apache I see this error.

 

[error] (EAI 2)Name or service not known: Could not resolve host name yourhostname -- ignoring!

                                                          [  OK  ]

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

thanks

Look in your config files for "yourhostname".

 

 

Looks like you just forgot to edit something.

Yes i wrongfully added :80 to ADDRESS. when I took this off. I see this error

though

 

[error] (EAI 2)Name or service not known: Could not resolve host name www.middlesystems.com -- ignoring!

[Tue Nov 04 21:49:34 2008] [error] (EAI 2)Name or service not known: Could not resolve host name www.middlesystems.com -- ignoring!

[Tue Nov 04 21:49:34 2008] [error] (EAI 2)Name or service not known: Could not resolve host name yourhostname -- ignoring!

 

 

I guess, I might need to configure enom settings.

 

I have only my real IP address added there

Host name @

address myIpaddress

record type a address

 

nothing else in host records. is it correct?

 

everything else in enom settings is default.

 

thanks

Another progress... wo hoo

now i can type names and get the website. there were problems where I forgot to type the domain name in the httpd.conf file.

so everything is in line

 

So i think it has been resolved as far as the thread was started for.

 

thanks
