This does not work on CentOS 5.2 build. I rebuilt the VPS several times and tried this several times, being sure to follow the directions perfectly.

Also, the named.conf link in the beginning of this article is broken.

the named.conf link referred in previous post from 2009 is still broken.

 Looks like abandonsite....

Hi, I used waybackmachine to trawl the internet for the missing named.txt file.

 Hope this helps!! I am about to have a crack at setting up my first Apache Server

Here it is. Best of luck!

Why the needless obfuscation ?  A user can just "cat" or "head" or "more" the hosts file, instead of using awk string functions.

awk 'NR==3 {print substr($0,1,14)}' /etc/hosts

Awk has its place, but not for looking at one line in a file. This kind of thing will throw beginners.  And why use conditional constructs on the command line, like this:

cd /etc/httpd/conf && cp /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf httpd.conf.temp

where just typing the commands is easier ?

cd /etc/httpd/conf

cp httpd.conf httpd.conf.temp
