 Posted: Tue Feb 07, 2006 8:20 pm Post subject: What do I need to correct to keep my domain name shown? |
 |
|
Hello,
I registered my domain from GoDaddy and had my domain forward to my ip address from GoDaddy and set up my website with your web server in my dedicated server from GoDaddy. www.deaf-zone.com is working fine which I just set up last night. Why does it still show ip address instead of my domain? Where should I correct that one problem? |

You need to setup a DNS "A" record in order to mask your IP Address to
your domain name. GoDaddy should have its own DNS Controle Panel. :-)

Do you know what wrong with my website? I learned from you and I did with my other website. It almost works but not yet. It was http://68.178.198.52/html and I setup a DNS like you said.
www.deaf-universe.com that I want but it will open my xampp control panel with popup username and password. Why? www.deaf-universe.com/html/index.php works but not want that /html/index.php. |

You cannot mask a domain to a URL. The second issue could be your router
not supporting loopback. I think only Linksys routers support that feature. If
you want to mask a URL, you can use URL forwarding.

This might be a silly question, but are you actually using Abyss? Your site seems to be prohosted on an Apache server... If you are having issues getting your site viewed and not your xammp control panel, you should contact your host...

Sorry, got lost in your links...
On Deaf-Universe, your Apache server, you'll have to look at the Apache configuration to figure out the redirection - it looks like you have an autoredirect set up to send the requests for / to the subdirectory /xammp which is why you get the password prompt and can't use the site directly. You'll have to remove that redirect and change the /html/ alias to work as your root...
Did you make the /html/ directory yourself? It doesn't look like this should be in the path automatically.

I'm not sure what tools are included in the Xampp distribution so there may be a nice gui for this, or you may have to dive into the configuration files in a text editor...
