I need some help from the hive mind of techies out there ;)

I have Apache 2.x running on a Linux server. The server isn't in DNS yet, though it's being forwarded from my domain host at Yahoo.

If I put the IP of the server in my address bar, my temp page comes up, but the IP address is still in the address bar. What I want to do is put my domain name www.URingMe.com in the address bar. I've changed the following options in the httpd.conf file:

ServerName www.URingMe.com:80
UseCanonicalName On

< VirtualHost 64.221.95.91 >
ServerName www.URingMe.com
UseCanonicalName On
< / VirtualHost >

Stopped the apachectl and started it again, but I'm still getting IP addresses in the address bar, not the ServerName. Any ideas?

It's at http://64.221.95.91

Thanks!

I was going to ask you about that....I do have it that way in the hosts file, and I wondered if that would bypass DNS. Doesn't look like it.

I may just have to get a DNS entry for that domain. Hmm. I'll try the other suggestions, though.

Thanks for the help!
