Search Again: WWW Domain Name Resolution Problem From: Dan Kirsch Date: Friday, August 17, 2001 Time: 6:25:32 am I'm running QuickDNS on a Mac OSXS 10.0.4 server. I've setup about 75 virtual domains and I thought that all was well until I checked a couple of things. I have OSXS on one hard drive, and created hosted file folders on a second drive. During the OSXS setup I did designate these folders as the location for site files (through OSXS Web Server Configuration), and had no problems with the QuickDNS setup. Last night I realized that what I thought was each of the sites loading the temporary index.html page that I'd placed in each site's folder, was in fact the sample index.html file that loads into OSXS' /Library/WebServer folder during installation. So, my symptoms are that if I try to access any of these sites via a browser and have the "www" in the URL, the site doesn't load. If I drop the "www" from the URL, the sites all load properly. In short, it seems as if for some reason I'm unable to resolve a site with "www" in the URL. I'm wondering if there is something that I need to check in QuickDNS as so far I've been unable to find anything that has been missed in OSXS. Given the GUI there to cover the Apache setup, my assumption would have been that if I was able to access the site at all that the OSXS setup would be complete (there is only one file location designation which is supposed to cover both "www" and non-URL versions). Which leaves me wondering if I've simply missed something during the QuickDNS setup? Thanks! Dr. Dan Kirsch Hudson Associates Consulting, Inc.
