I know this isn't the Apache mail list, but in fact, I can't find an
Apache mail list.. if someone knows of a good one, please direct me to it.
To start off, it might be best to point out the fact that I have a web
server running Mandrake 7.1 without any problems.. including virtual
domain serving. I'm not sure why I am having problems with Mandrake 9.1
and virtual servers, but I am.
When I connect Mandrake 9.1 to the Internet, I can access the Apache
server through any other computer connected to the Internet by using the
IP address, but when I try to access a virtual server on Mandrake 9.1 via
name (for example, http://www.powwowdance.com), the web browser cannot
find any such server.
Question #1:
How long should I wait before the virtual server (assuming it is set up
correctly) is accessible to everyone on the Internet? I've waited at
least 2 hours to see if it has propagated, but it still doesn't connect.
Question #2:
I have a server running Mandrake 7.1 that works just fine. Its virtual
servers all work well, and its ip address is 63.224.195.57 with a virtual
web server name set at www.vivid-eye.com. I am installing Mandrake 9.1 on
a completely different computer, which I can also connect to the Internet
at the same time. If I number the Mandrake 9.1 server to 63.224.195.56 in
order to keep the 9.1 server online at the same time as the 7.1 server,
will giving the 9.1 server the vivid-eye.com name conflict with the
current 7.1 server name? I'd like to run the new 9.1 server all the time
to see if it's just a propagation problem, but I don't want it to conflict
with the 7.1 server. What can I do?
Question #3:
This is my current setup for the new 9.1 server, does it look correct? If
it does look correct, then I don't know why I can't access the new 9.1
server (P.S. http://www.powwowdance.com will probably work fine if you
check it now, because I will have connected the working server by the time
you read this):
I am using the latest Apache version, whichever one was shipped with
Mandrake 9.1

type master;
file "/var/named/pz/powwowdance.com";
};
---------------------------------------------------
var/named/pz/powwowdance.com:
@ IN SOA powwowdance.com. james.vivid-eye.com. (

ns A 63.224.195.57
ns2 IN A 63.224.195.60
@ IN A 63.224.195.57
www CNAME ns
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Does the above look ok? And if so, why can't I access that
virtual domain from the Internet?
Thanks for any help.
