I just loaded up another Fedora 8 loaded as Server. I have installed Webmin 1.401 and everything seems to be working but.. it will not resolve the domain names. It will reconized the ip address and hit the Apache server. But no domain name will resolve.
Can someone please shed some light on as to why. Or how to go about troubleshooting this.
Let me try to explain better. I have a Fedora 8 server. That I am running Webmin to handle the virtual server for domain hosting. (If i can get it to work.) It has an external IP and even though I configured it to a master domain. No domain names work only external IP address.
So say that i have xyz.com and it is all setup on the server. But if you goto xyz.com it will not pullup. But the static ip will show the apache default screen.
Whats the domain you are looking to pull a web page from? Ping that domain, if it resolves properly then you have an apache config problem, if it doesnt resolve to the expected ip then you have a domain name problem.
In other words if xyz.com is a domain registered by you then it needs to resolve to your external ip.
When I ping the domain from the hosting server, below is what I get. I have scanned the httpd.conf file and even copied one from another server and modded it to match this one. And still no go. That is why I am thinking it is a DNS issue. Do you agree?
