[users@httpd] Newbie Question

Probably a very simple solution, and one that I am sure has come up before.

Set up V 1.3.29 as a standalone server for testing and learning.

Am forwarding a domain to the system by IP address, but am unable to make it 
reflect the address in the location window of the browser.  It reflects the forwarded 
domain IP address.  What am I missing?

It sounds like the same basic questions that I asked.  I was able to make the system
show the localhost address, but not the www. address.  It was all a DNS issue.

If you want to test your domain before it's resolvable with the public
DNS, then just add the hostnames to /etc/hosts for the 127.0.0.1 IP
address, e.g.:

127.0.0.1	localhost something.example.com www.something.example.com

(thank you to Brian on the list for the information).

Once I did this mine showed the www address.
