hosting my own site problems with Apache

[jacksondorado]

Greetings,

I registered a

http://www.domain.com

name and registered host.domain.com name to match.

I pointed my

http://www.domain.com

at host.domain.com using the registrar's DNS manager. "domain" = my URL and "host.domain" = the host name I registered.

I have a Windows 98 machine with a static IP and I named the machine host.domain.com

I can't seem to get the right combination of configuration settings in the httpd.conf file for Apache.

Can I use my machine as a host, and serve

http://www.domain.com,

as well as other virtual hosts? Is there something to do with CNAME I need to do. Apache documentation can be very general when trying to apply it.

So far, in my httpd.conf file, aside from default settings, I have:

BindAddress *

ServerName host.domain.com

NameVirtualHost 64.xx.144.xx

<VirtualHost 64.xx.144.x>
ServerAdmin email@isp.com
DocumentRoot /

http://www/www.domain.com

ServerName

http://www.domain.com

ErrorLog logs/

http://www.domain.com-error_log

CustomLog logs/

http://www.domain.com-access_log

common
</VirtualHost>

-thanks in advance.

This may not be directly related to Apache, but I would upgrade to Win2k. It is must more secure, stable, and faster.

Second, upgrade to Apache 2.0. It was just released by the Apache Group and it has A LOT more Win2k support.

Then, with Win2k, you can run Apache as a service in the background and it takes up less RAM.

You might want to check the online Apache documentation files for more help though.

Hope this helps.
