ok, so I'm trying to move my blog to a host I have control over. right now i've been trying to place it on a friends server. eventually i'll mirror it on my server. both boxes are gentoo.
so far i have done:
created a CNAME entry of life.asisee.it at my registars site
edited vhost file
copy example index.html (for testing) to /home/nqs/www/
modified registar A entry to point to my freinds server (24.113.82.185)
I've been asked not to modify bind on my frends server, having been told the registar should be able to forward all requests for my domain to the correct ip, where virtual host would then forward it to the actual site.
however, in testing, life.asisee.it just gives me a parking page, and I get 404's when trying to hit /asiseeit, /nqs /home/nqs and /home/nqs/www, using either domain mac.isa-geek.org or triad.ath.cx (the former being the testing / backup version of the latter)
can anyone tell me what i am either doing wrong, or have failed to do?

Just an update on this, http://life.asisee.it now redirects to the home page of my freinds server, so now i just need to figure out how to get it to the correct path

| At the risk of posing a silly question, what did you do to get it pointed at the server it points to now? |

well, since i've only done what was listed, i think the 1st and last items above, then perhaps it had to propagate (is that the right word?) through the dns servers?

You don't ever have to wait for DNS propagation...just edit /etc/hosts and put a line in and that will override anything received from the DNS, so you can test the server from your computer ASAP without the delay. This is also useful if you want to test a server's virtual host settings before you actually change the DNS to point to it.

Another way to test vhost settings would be to issue a:
| Code: |
# telnet ipofthehost 80
Trying ipofthehost...
Connected to ipofthehost.
Escape character is '^]'.
GET / HTTP/1.0\n
Host: some.vhost.com\n
\n
some output.....

This will give you the needed infos...
