Apache virtual hosts and DNS!

[honey bee]

Hello!

I have created a virtual host in apache:

<VirtualHost 192.168.0.100:80>
ServerName oct4doom1.com
DocumentRoot "/webspace/oct4doom1.com/www/html"
ServerAlias www.oct4doom1.com
</VirtualHost>

192.168.0.100 is my system's ip address and Listen is set to 80.

I have made the following entry for it in default named.conf:

zone "oct4doom1.com" IN {
type master;
file "db.oct4doom1.com";
};

and in /var/named i have the zone file db.oct4doom1.com:

$TTL 86400
@ IN SOA ns1.domain.com. admin.domain.com. (
4 ; Serial
28800 ; Refresh
7200 ; Retry
604800 ; Expire
86400 ) ; TTL

@ IN NS ns1.domain.com.
@ IN NS ns2.domain.com.
oct4doom1.com IN A 192.168.0.100
www.oct4doom1.com. IN CNAME oct4doom1.com.
ftp.oct4doom1.com. IN CNAME oct4doom1.com.

My primary DNS is localhost and secondary is 127.0.0.1.Now, when i start the named service and httpd service and try to access the site, i get the Alert that site not found.

Plz help me with this?

I think you need to add the "." after the oct4doom1.com on this line, like this:

oct4doom1.com. IN A 192.168.0.100

You should also check your /var/log/messages file for any named errors when you restart named. There could be a file location problem too.

Also, try to use the "dig" and "host" commands to help with troubleshooting. It will give a good idea of what the DNS server actually thinks it's doing based on the contents of the zone file.

Hello!

Thanks a lot for your reply .First my named service was running from chroot, as i was making changes to the configuartion file in "/" the change had no effect.

Secondly, addition of "." made it work.Thank you for your help .
