For example, at the end of httpd.conf you could have the following. <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin admin@mydomain.com DocumentRoot /home/.sites/mydomain ServerName www.mydomain.com ServerAlias mydomain.com </VirtualHost> Hi Declan,

The second reference to ServerName is within the section. For example, at the end of httpd.conf you could have the following.


ServerAdmin admin@mydomain.com
DocumentRoot /home/.sites/mydomain
ServerName http://www.mydomain.com
ServerAlias mydomain.com

ServerName gets mentioned twice while editing httpd.conf. Are one of those under the section? Could the # symbols be commented out of that section? I'm a bit confused. thanks!

If it is the FTP username you are using for a website you are creating then the username will be the same as the one added at the start of part 3. I will update the guide to make this a bit easier to follow. Good luck! Ray Hi Scyllar,

I don't have the adminftp user on my system, can you explain it? Or maybe "ftp" I assume? Sorry this may sound funny because I am newbie on linux. Thank you very much.
