Apache Domain

apache domain name

[Jamie_White]

I don't know loads about apache, but I can set up a basic ip server with php. I need to know how to host a domain, and i'm not sure how to do it. Can anyone help me here?

Thanks.

Hi Jamie_White, and welcome.

If you just want to host one domain, walk through your httpd.conf configuration file and fill in the hostname of your domain in the appropriate lines.
If you want to host additional domains on the same server, you may start looking at the "Apache Virtual Host documentation" at [httpd.apache.org...]

Domain hosting of course is a bit more than just defining virtual domains in the web server.
You also have to make sure, that all the DNS stuff is done right and that the domain registration information at the registrar point to the correct name servers.
