RE: Servers 101: Setting up a Web Server part 4 - Virtual Hosts & vnstati Graphs

in #tutorial7 years ago

everything is all and good. the certificates managed to go through after changing the A record. the only issue now is that i can't access the website on my server from the web. do i also need to change the nameservers on the domain registrar's DNS settings for the domain? what in the world would i change those to? would i be better off setting up my own DNS via BIND or that other one? i just got off the phone with somebody working at Godaddy, because i wanted to see if i could use my dynamic DNS host (via noip.com) as my A record, which i can't, and he went on some rant about how it would be virtually impossible to set up your own DNS because it's so complex and then, to top it all off, i would have no way of serving stuff from website to the outside world. perhaps i misunderstood him.

Sort:  

What domain are you trying to set up to your server? If you pointed that to your server using A records, and your website is still not showing up, then try to restart apache (service apache2 restart), and if you see errors, let me know what errors you got.
