Help with location and syntax of named.conf in Ubuntu's version of BIND 9

Kenny_Strawn · 10-31-2010, 02:20 PM

Here's where I currently need help:

I already have an HTTP server (in the form of Apache) along with forum software set up on my Acer netbook. However, the only way I can access the forum software is if I type in my IP address. How do I set up my named.conf to get the IP address to redirect to a domain? I already have my resolv.conf configured to allocate a domain to the IP address, but testing the ping of the site returns a "No such domain" error.

Hi,

In /etc/resolv.conf you put the nameserver(s) you want to use.
If it's only your server that you want to access, there is no need to run a name server. You can put in /etc/hosts your IP along with your server name:

Code:

x.x.x.x www.mydomain.com
