did u set up the name server (BIND)?

Adding the domain name to your apache config is only letting apache know where to pull the data from when requested. As the previous posted stated you will need to point the domain to your IP via an A record using a DNS server. Hope this helps.

you need to make a file in /var/named called "your.domain.name" that looks like this

$TTL 1800
@ IN SOA your.domain.name. your@mail.com. (
0001; Serial Number
1800; Refresh 30 min
900; Retry 15 min
3600000; Expire 1000 hours
3600 ) ; Minimum 24 hours
;
IN NS your.domain.name.
;
ns IN A 123.456.789.123;
www IN A 123.456.789.123;
web IN CNAME www;


NOTE:

you have to replace "your.domain.name" with whatever your domain name is, and "123.456.789.123" with your static IP, and of course "your@mail.com" with a valid mail address.


Good Luck!!!

please diregard miyamoto's post.

There are many other things besides just creating a zone file that you will need to do in order to setup dns. Besides that fact there are several errors with his example zone file.

it works for me
Anyway, felix's post is not explicit at all. the only thing I can imagine is either in his httpd.conf setup or the bind setup.

You were correct is letting him know he needs to setup DNS but just dropping a zone file in a directory will not accomplish this. You would have been better off directing him to a DNS tutorial.

This should read:

@ IN SOA your.domain.name. your.mail.com. (


This should read:

;
IN NS nameserver.domain.com.
IN NS nameserver2.domain.com.
IN A IP_ADDRESS
IN MX mail.domain.com.
;

Then before your records at the bottom you need an additional $ORIGIN line:

$ORIGIN domain.com.
