Hostname Issues

[phenner]

Hi,

I am running and Ubuntu 8.10 server with Apache2 and ISPConfig 2.
I have many sites hosted on my server, which all work fine apart from one.

www.phennerweb.co.uk - doesn't work
phennerweb.co.uk - works

I have the default hostname set as www, and then a co-domain set up with no hostname.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Rich

Please make sure that you have a dns a-record for www.phennerweb.co.uk pointing to the IP address that you selected for the website.

Where may I create said DNS-A record?

Thanks,

You must modify the A record on these nameservers:

server1:~#These are probably the nameservers of your registrar, so you should have a web interface where you can do that.

Ok, so I sort of understand this now. What do I need to change the A-record to?

It is currently phennerweb.co.uk --> 90.208.209.248 with a TTL of 120.

Thanks,

What do I need to change the A-record to?

To the IP address of the domain phennerweb.co.uk, thats the one that you selected for the website.
