Topic: setting up apache from scratch on a linux machine

[dramous]

here are my specs and equipment i am working with:
cisco wireless router
proliant server running redhat linux 3

the problem:
i recently registered a domain name, and i want to put this domain on my server, but i am not sure where to apply public ip values, and private ip values which i received from my internet provider. i tried to do it myself, and my httpd keep saying failed. I did not change value in the apache config file, but i did use the gui tool for network to put in value for server name which is onyxmagonline.com, and input the the dns values for my internet provider. now when it ask for my static info, i am not sure what values go here, my public ip address info are private ip info. i tried both and i seemly cannot get the apache to start.. so please help. i checked my error log for the apache and found that the domain name onyxmagonline.com is not assocated with a valid ip address. i need some help to understand what i need to do to resolve this issue.. i really need to see if anyone can chat with me through yahoo chat or msn chat to talk more direct to solve this issue. tat

You can use a namebased vhost in httpd.conf. You don't have to apply the domain name in the network settings. Just use the external IP from your ISP.
