webserver is not working..
 

Hi,

i am new in linux. i use redhat enterprise 5.0. i configured /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf. In this configuration file i made changes on last seven lines. changes are..

<VirtualHost adnan.example.com>
ServerAdmin webmaster@adnan.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html #i've made index.html in html folder
ServerName adnan.example.com
ErrorLog logs/adnan.example.com-error_log
TransferLog logs/adnan.example.com-access_log
</VirtualHost>


but when i open firefox and type "adnan.example.com" , it gives no reply. but when i type 127.0.0.1, it shows the index.html . what wrong i've made in the configuration file ?? please give me a solution. it stops my further activity on redhat.

Do you have a DNS entry for
adnan.example.com ?
