[users@httpd] Accessing web pages on tthe server by domain name.
Hello,
I have apache running on FC1 and I acan access the web pages by ip address
of the server http://192.168.0.x but I am unable to configure the server so
that I can access the web pages by domain name e.g. http://www.mydomain.com.
Any help how to configure it?
Thanks
rusel

look in the apache docs under name based virtual hosting

While the below is all true, you should still get the IP if using any DNS
entry that points to the server. This smells like a DNS issue.

Use NameVirtualHost to specify the IP address(es) on which you want to
handle name-based hosts, like this:
NameVirtualHost 123.123.120.123
You can put an asterisk if you want to accept named-based requests on
all IP addresses.
You then specify specific addresses in <VirtualHost> sections for each
domain name, and you use ServerName to say which host is served by which
section. For example (this is how my configuration does it):
NameVirtualHost *:80 [anything on port 80 can be name based]
...
<VirtualHost *:80> [first domain to be served]
ServerName www.myfirstdomain.com [domain name to be served]
...
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80> [second domain to be served]
ServerName www.myseconddomain.com [domain name to be served]
...
</VirtualHost>
The first virtual host is the one that gets served if Apache can't find
a match on the server name for any virtual host. In the above
configuration, Apache accepts any request on any IP address, provided
it's for port 80. It then looks down the list of virtual hosts and
picks the one that has a ServerName or ServerAlias that matches the
domain name provided by the calling client, and serves that (if none
match, the first virtual host is served).

Have you tried to do anything as far as resolve the domain itself? If
you have bind tools installed, a simple "host domain.tld" will return an
IP address. If not, try to ping it, see what IP the domain resolves to.
If it does not resolve to an IP, then you have a DNS issue. If it
does, then you more than likely have an Apache issue, and should heed
the advice of Evan Smith who mentioned documentation on Name-based
Virtual Hosting.
Thanks

Most likely this has nothing to do with apache configuration and
everything to do with DNS configuration. You need to setup DNS to map
your hostname to your IP address. You'd probably have better luck
getting information about that on a redhat-specific forum.
