    setting up my first web address on a new server

    Hi I have web space over at rack space and I have just finished configuring the setup stage. I have a few questions on how to get my web address recognized when a user looks for it on the web. Now I was told that I had to change the name server space, as it was parked over a go daddy, and I did this, but I am not sure what the next steps would be. Can anyone point me to an article that will advise me?

    thanx kevin

    Did you set up DNS to point to your site? Dns is the first stop on a request when someone types in your domain name. If you have not set up DNS no one will find you

    This link pretty much seems to cover it:

    http://www.rackspace.com/apps/suppor...1138/1166/1174

    Some more reference for you though:
    http://help.godaddy.com/article/664

    EDIT:
    The next step may be just to wait - it will take a while for the changes to propagate

    Re: setting up my first web address on a new server

    I appreciate the help
    I setup the domain name servers as instructed
    I also setup the domains in the domain manager on the rack space control panel; had something to do with A Names, MX Names - email, and CNames.

    The last step I think is to setup apache to see the names. I found an article, but I am a little unsure of what to do here. The reason is the file that I need to modify contains a lot of information that I don't know about. I backed the file up, but I could use some insight as to this one point!

    The file in question is the default file, and it contains the follow information:
    Code:
    <VirtualHost *:80>
            ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
            DocumentRoot /var/www/
            <Directory />
                    Options FollowSymLinks
                    AllowOverride None
            </Directory>
            <Directory /var/www/>
                    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                    AllowOverride None
                    Order allow,deny
                    allow from all
            </Directory>
            ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
            <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
                    AllowOverride None
                    Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
                    Order allow,deny
                    Allow from all
            </Directory>
            ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
            # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
            # alert, emerg.
            LogLevel warn
            CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
        Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"
        <Directory "/usr/share/doc/">
            Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
            AllowOverride None
            Order deny,allow
            Deny from all
            Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
        </Directory>
     
    </VirtualHost>
    I need to add the following to the file:
    <VirtualHost www.1purposebethel.com>
    ServerAdmin kraleigh@sbcglobal.net
    DocumentRoot /var/www/1purposebethel
    ServerName www.1purposebethel.com
    ErrorLog /var/www/logs/error_log
    TransferLog /var/www/logs/access_log
    </VirtualHost>

    <VirtualHost www.greateropportunities.com>
    ServerAdmin kraleigh@sbcglobal.net
    DocumentRoot /var/www/greateropportunities
    ServerName www.greateropportunities.org
    ErrorLog /var/www//logs/error_log
    TransferLog /var/www/logs/access_log
    </VirtualHost>

    The question is do I add the information outside the current info? Like the following example?

    Code:
    <VirtualHost *:80>
            ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
            DocumentRoot /var/www/
            <Directory />
                    Options FollowSymLinks
                    AllowOverride None
            </Directory>
            <Directory /var/www/>
                    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                    AllowOverride None
                    Order allow,deny
                    allow from all
            </Directory>
            ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
            <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
                    AllowOverride None
                    Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
                    Order allow,deny
                    Allow from all
            </Directory>
            ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
            # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
            # alert, emerg.
            LogLevel warn
            CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
        Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"
        <Directory "/usr/share/doc/">
            Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
            AllowOverride None
            Order deny,allow
            Deny from all
            Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
        </Directory>
     
    </VirtualHost>
    <VirtualHost www.1purposebethel.com>
        ServerAdmin kraleigh@sbcglobal.net
        DocumentRoot /var/www/1purposebethel
        ServerName www.1purposebethel.com
        ErrorLog /var/www/logs/error_log
        TransferLog /var/www/logs/access_log
    </VirtualHost>
    <VirtualHost www.greateropportunities.com>
        ServerAdmin kraleigh@sbcglobal.net
        DocumentRoot /var/www/greateropportunities
        ServerName www.greateropportunities.org
        ErrorLog /var/www//logs/error_log
        TransferLog /var/www/logs/access_log
    </VirtualHost>
    thanx kevin
