Changing domain
Posted: 01. July 2011 23:57
Hi folks,
I have just transferred an old web site from GoDaddy to my own Windows XP machine. I got it running using XAMPP with "localhost" as the server name. After getting everything up and running, I am now trying to re-configure the website to work against a domain name (e.g. www.example.com).
1. I set up my router for port forwarding
2. I modified the ServerName attribute in httpd.conf (changed it to "www.example.com")
3. Restarted apache
I know I'm missing at least one step. Any assistance is welcome.
Thanks
