Re: Completely Lost

All you need to do is add CNAME to the DNS:
mywebspace.co.uk. IN A 888.888.888.8888
me.mywebspace.co.uk. IN CNAME mywebspace.co.uk.

And then use Apache's Name-based virtual hosts solution:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/name-based.html

That should do the trick.

Well I have been all over - read all there is about DNS and bind -
Read Howto forums etc - but still seem to be stumbling on something -
but cant put my finger on it.

Here are my objectives but not sure if i am taking things further than
i need and would really appreciate some help.

I have got a 123-reg domain - mywebspace.co.uk (here i am allowed to
change everything on dns, nameservers, A records CNAME's etc.

I have a Ubuntu -server installation on my personal home machine
(running at the moment as a virtual machine Until i get things right)

I have pointed my domain name to the external (static) Ip address of
my router - 888.888.888.888 (for eg)
I have configure my router to forward ports on 8080, 80, 23, 21, 110,
10000 etc etc to the internal ip address (static) 192.168.1.10

My true intentions are : to have multiple webpages under my domain
name : like - me.mywebspace.co.uk and mymate.mywebspace.co.uk and once
i have email set up for EVERYTHING@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx to goto a web
login at say webmail.mywebspace.co.uk. (obviosly will have all the
mail stuff set up according to the howtoforge guid on 6.06 perfect
setup)

Now I am not sure if i need it but I looked and attempted to use
ISPconfig but this seems to confuse me more.

The front end to it all - I would love to use the Joomla system (as i
know how to ue it for a single web system) but not sure what i need to
do to manage more than one webpage.

What is getting to me the most is DNS and nameservers etc. I have
tried so many different things - but not sure how involved i need to
be with the configs.

Do i need to have my own nameserver? ns.mywebspace.co.uk and configure
the control panel at 123-reg to point my name server to this
ns.mywebspace.co.uk and the (external or internal) ip address of it?

when i edit the /etv/hosts file - server1.mywebspace.co.uk - do i use
192.168.1.10 or the external ip address of my router?

do i need to edit or creater /etc/resolv.conf ? what do i need to put
in there?

If i need to create a nameserver - what should i do? (they mention 2
name server are needed) but i have one server - what do i point to as
the second server?

If i want to create a subdomain - webmail.mywebspace.co.uk - how do i
go about doing it?

Once this has been fully explained and installed and working - It will
then be able to look into it to understand it better.

Any help will be muchly apreciated -
cheers
