View Website Internally (How To)

[Broady]

Hi All,
I am fairly new to Linux and new to ISPConfig. I have just followed the ISPConfig documentation and created a website (broadyswebdesign.com)

I am not sure how to actually view the website. What I mean is that I am trying to view the site inside my network. So using http://www.broadyswebdesing.com always pops up the login box for my DLink DSL-604T router.

My internal IP address for my Linux server is 10.1.1.2

So I guess I have to view my site by going to http://10.1.1.2/[website]
I am not sure what the rest of the url should be. This is the first site created in ISP.

My current host file looks like this:

127.0.0.1   localhost.localdomain localhost
123.108.66.3  server1.broadyswebdesign.com  server1  localhost.localdomain

i hope this all makes sense. Mainly I want to know how to view my website and view it internally if possible.

Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks

You need to add a line to the hosts file (on the machine from which you are trying to access the server).

10.1.1.2 www.broadyswebdesign.com

In your example above it would be below the 2 listed.

How exactly would I add the above to the hosts file?

Like this:
10.1.1.2 www.broadyswebdesign.com broadyswebdesign ?

Thanks

Exactly as I wrote it, or your example is probably fine as well. Just make sure there is a space or 2 between the IP address and the name. If it is a Windows box, be very careful of Notepad, Wordpad etc as they love adding a 'hidden' .txt extension, which will break everything. A DOS commandline edit is safest.
On a Windows system, the hosts file is hidden off the main Windows folder on C:

e.g. C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Thanks all for your help, I got it working. I changed the hosts file on Windoze and the Linux Box and now I can view the site by http://www.broadyswebdesign.com
