Hello,
I thought it was all part and parcel of the Apache configuration. The relevant
part of the .db file looks like this:
$ORIGIN .
$TTL 14400 ; 4 hours
e4edmonton.com IN SOA ns1.normanfournier.com.
postmaster.e4edmonton.com. (
2010020305 ; serial
21600 ; refresh (6 hours)
900 ; retry (15 minutes)
604800 ; expire (1 week)
43200 ; minimum (12 hours)
)
NS ns1.normanfournier.com.
NS ns2.normanfournier.com.
--snip--
All of the website I host use this same type of file but they stay permanently
online.
Are there problems with the version of Apache I am using? I would hate to break
it by upgrading. I have had bad experiences after upgrading software and
applications that will not run on a later version, so I am a little gun shy.
Norman
