Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Dedicated Server : dumb question about a raq

[Chris0]

I just got a raq 3 and when i go to Add New Virtual Site it ask for an IP Address whats my ip adrss my domain name? just call me dumb

[MikeA]

No, if you are on a shared IP, then it's the IP that was assigned to your main site. If you have individual IP's, then you just pick one from that listing.

Remember that you'll also need to update the DNS tables.

Chris, where'd you get the RaQ from? Also, the IP address isn't liek a domain. More like 201.201.201.201 (you got at least one with the server).

[Chris0]

I got it from hispeedhosting thanks for help im learing as i go here

Chris0,
Not to be rude, but you ought to read all the FAQ's and manuals regarding your RaQ3. "In there", it will show you clearly how to deal with DNS, SSL, users etc. This kind of information is a *must to have knowledge about before you run your own server. If you have clients on that server it's going to go wrong one day...

You can have both IP & name based Virtual Sites. HiSpeed Hosting would have given you details about your nameservers allocated IP's etc.

Heh heh, not willing to help EVERYONE *wink* with their RaQ's ??? Don't you side-line as Cobalt tech support?

Sorry, I probably should just email this, as it is somewhat a private joke, but...

[Coreace]

What do you mean by that Chicken?
I don't see this as a joke. Altough it is a learning curve and step-by-step for some it is obvious that setting up a dedicated server is not a game (shouldn't be) and if you have clients you can't ignore the importancy having some knowledge how it works <before> you setup the damn thing. Chris0 mention he's question was "dumb", I do not think the same way and I am more than willing to help. My advise was to read the Cobalt FAQ's and manuals and join their mailing list as that would give him alot quicker respond and better help.

My reply was not meant to be rude or arrogant in any way.

[Coreace]

eh... sorry. Had a bad morning today and still not recovered.

[Chris0]

ahhh i did read all the manuals i could get my hands on at cobalts site..... manuals never help me much it gives me an idea but the only way i can learn it is to acutally do it, i can now add a site setup the DNS without looking or reading anything Theres still alot i dont know but i learned anough to setup my little sites.......and i dont have any clients theres only me, i new i would have a hard time with it theres no way id try haveing clients.

[Chicken]

DOH! What Coreace didn't get (and what I meant by my post), is that Coreace helped me with a whole bunch of stupid things I didn't know (didn't have a manual, was completely confused at first).

She provided me with some help, and I greatly appreciate it. Was better that cobalt tech support

(that's what I meant!)

[Coreace]

yeah yeah Chicken, I got that too late... I was in a bad mood that morning and pretty narrow minded just wanted to kick someone's (**&

Well, I am off for my annual leave so be happy!

Have Fun...
