page cannot be displayed after setting up apache

[wurmy]

ok apache seems to be running fine, and on my system everything looks great. i can bring up netscape and go to wurmy.dhs.org (my domain name) and it brings up my page fine. however, from any other system i get a page cannot be displayed message. what am i doing wrong?

[flar]

what do u mean other system? another pc on ur LAN? or a pc outside? if its outside then am sure that ur domain is not registered. if its only on ur lan then u need to setup DNS (not sure)

both. one on my lan and one outside. i registered the name earlier today, so it is possible it just isnt setup yet i suppose. ??

try accessing the page with just your ip address. Like..
http://111.11.111.111
or something assuming it's on port 80. if it's not, just put the port after it like http://333.333.333.333:8080
or whatever port it's on

The requested URL could not be retrieved
While trying to retrieve the URL: http://wurmy.dhs.org/

The following error was encountered:

Unable to determine IP address from host name for wurmy.dhs.org
The dnsserver returned:

DNS Domain 'wurmy.dhs.org' is invalid: Host not found (authoritative).
This means that:

The cache was not able to resolve the hostname presented in the URL.
Check if the address is correct.

this page is automatically generated by my proxy server. meaning ur domain was not yet activated.

i can access it fine using my IP address, so I am assuming it has something to do with the service i registered my domain name with. i think everything is fine on my end.

[flar]

yes probably. try to look at my post above.

DNS takes time to 'broadcast'... up to 24 hours... if you can reach via IP, then it should be good to go.
