Search Again: Re: OS X Server test config From: Men & Mice Support Date: Friday, February 1, 2002 Time: 12:32:55 pm Hello Eric, The only thing I can see that's wrong in your description is the use of the localhost address in the Network applet in System Preferences. Since Mac OS X (including Server) assigns this address to the loopback address, without asking you, you should not assign it to some other address. Let us know if you continue to have problems after fixing this. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice support@menandmice.com Making DNS Easy At 12:04 PM -0800 2/1/02, Administrator wrote: >Hi there, > >I'm trying to test out a website on a temporary OS X Server machine >to make sure all the links and CGIs are working correctly before I >put it online.
