Hello, The file you are seeing is the index.html file stored in ~httpd/htdocs. To setup domains, you need to add <VirtualHost> directives to your ~httpd/conf/httpd.conf file. Also, where are you hosting this? From your home, or elsewhere? Many ISP's block their clients from hosting web servers unless they have a static IP with them (which they usually charge an arm and a leg for). You can get around this by changing the port that Apache runs on to something like 8080 (e.g. http://yourdomain:8080/). Also, if you have a firewall up then make sure that it isn't blocking incoming connections to port 80. ---- Graham Frank Neoservers LLC - Founder and Owner Ph: (608) 359-1593 Member of the Better Business Bureau ----- Original Message ----- From: "Karri K." <p3Dr0ster@xxxxxxxxx> To: <users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, July 21, 2007 5:36 PM Subject: Newbie problems, trying to get Apache HTTP Server working > > Ok.
