Edit files /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts file /etc/hosts lists as follows:
127.0.0.1 localhost 216.87.145.170 brutus.advance-computing.com # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts # (added automatically by netbase upgrade) ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters ff02::3 ip6-allhosts I don't see any problems here & it exactly matches my other server setups on other systems. > 3. Edit /etc/apache/httpd.conf In apache2 that is an empty file and all of the configs are in apache.conf along with a couple of other files. Also nowhere does it have the ip address of the host server that I can locate anywhere in /etc/apache2/ Now the real interesting thing is that when you issue the command 'hostname' brutus is delivered If you issue the command 'dnsdomainname --fqdn' then unknown host is delevered. So I currently am exonorating apache2 and figure something is slightly buggy with the new network install iso image that I used..& this is the one curently touted for sarge. At any rate thanks Antonio and Simmel for taking a shot at this as they did prompt me to look deeper than previous. -- John Foster -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
