Dockimbel, I see my problem straight off, and many thanks -- everything n= ow working 100% in under 30 seconds.
I have never dealt with web servers before and have zero knowledge. If I = can manage (with your kind help) anyone can. Cheyenne works well, and wor= king in the Rebol environment is a delight. All the best in the new year, Greg --- Message Received --- From: DocKimbel <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Reply-To: [email protected] Date: Thu, 01 Jan 2009 20:20:52 +0100 Subject: [REBOL] Re: Idiot question on Cheyenne Hi Greg, You seem confused by what a virtual domain is. A virtual domain is=3D20 defined in cheyenne's config file as (for example) : my.vhost.com [ root-dir %/c/www/ ] That means that Cheyenne will serve content from local folder %/c/www/=3D= 20 when asked for virtual domain http://my.vhost.com/. Also, your OS needs to know the mapping between domain names and their=3D= 20 IP addresses. This is done by querying a DNS server (mainly for public=3D= 20 names) or looking in local hosts file for name/IP mapping. So, in order for http://my.vhost.com to respond, the domain=3D20 "my.vhost.com" must be defined somewhere, in a DNS database or locally=3D= 20 in the hosts file. On UNIX, hosts file is located at /etc/hosts, on Windows, it's at=3D20 %SYSTEM32%/drivers/etc/hosts. More info about hosts file: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_file Hope that helps, -- DocKimbel [email protected] a =3DE9crit : > I have a problem that is so stupidly simple I am embarrassed to ask abo= =3D ut=3D3D > it.
