Using SUDO to BIND DNS
 

Hi,
I am trying to set up a webserver that is on our network. The server box (webserver ) will be accessed by many boxes but I do not wish everyone to access our network.

I need to open the webserver to inbound and outbound traffic.

The webserver does not open the index page - local host or 127.0.0.1?

Also, when I use sudo and try to edit files in vi I do not have permission to save those files. e.g. userdir.conf

Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers

What is your question here? 127.0.0.1 and localhost are the same thing.

probably because the files are not set writable. Try forcing the write with :w!

Hi,

Yes, localhost and 127.0.0.1 are the same thing. I am just new to this and am having trouble, sorry guys.

The whole thing is confusing.

When I force the write using :w! I do not understand? I know your telling me to change permissions to write but I am still confused.

Do you have any suggestions?

Cheers

My question is: I dont understand why my Apache2 webserver will not run localhost and show me a webpage/index?

Cheers
