[users@httpd] How to return FQDN of server in web browser window.

I have just installed Apache on a server with a fixed IP address and a 
real domain name. When I go to my website with a browser, 
www.hondacarpart.com, the server's IP address appears in the web browser 
address bar. What can I do to make the FQDN appear in the web browser 
address bar?

Bryon,

In httpd.conf did you set ServerName with the IP Adress or with your
real domain name?

Ah, I have done this before and will do so for this server. Thanks.

Obviously a determined spammer, or a very smart spam-bot (went through the
trouble of subscribing to the list before sending the spam).  The address
has been banned, but it won't do much good.

My question is, was it really necessary to resend the whole damn thing
back to the list with all the attachments just to say "what the hell"?
Please think before you send.

Joshua.

This has nothing to do with Apache and everything to do with DNS
configuration.

See this thread from last month (referenced below).  It would appear that
when people choose to host their DNS with them, they do things like redirect
back to IP addresses by default, even when the customer specifies a web
server IP address in the DNS.

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=apache-httpd-users&m=106484960812465&w=2

When I use host, I get these results:

-> host www.hondacarpart.com
www.hondacarpart.com has address 216.168.224.70

Is 216.168.224.70 your web server's IP address?  My guess would be no, as
the final IP address in the browser is 68.96.155.87.

Your name servers are listed as
   NS55.WORLDNIC.COM            216.168.225.195
   NS56.WORLDNIC.COM            216.168.225.196

You seem to be using the default NSI nameservers.  Depending on the package
you purchased from them, you get varying levels of features.  I am assuming
you just registered a domain and that's it.  In that case, you overlooked a
major step.  You need to get your DNS hosted somewhere so that you can
request an admin to create an A record for hondacarpart.com to point to
68.96.155.87, and either {a CNAME for 'www' to point to hondacarpart.com} or
{an A record for 'www' to point to 68.96.155.87}.  You could use various
service providers for this, some free, some partially free, non-free.  Check
http://zoneedit.com/ .
