Hey peeps ok I installed Mac os 10.2, and i registered with everydaydns.net. I also have a domain name and it's pointng to the parking page of everyday dns. I turned on personal web sharing so all of that is good. Now how do i get the DNS to point to my sites folder? I do have a static IP and when I go to that IP it justs goes to some Apache page. when I go to the ip that my mac gave me for that folder everday dns won't let me add that A point because its, 68.blah.blah.lv.lv.cox.net, and it doesnt want letters I guess. So how do i get it to point to my sites folder? Thanks in advance.
Got a tip for us?

Your web sharing folder's name is basically your short username preceded by a tilde:
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/~username/
---------
If you can't specify that address, just put an index.html page in
/Library/WebServer/Documents/
folder that redirects to your web-sharing folder:
(don't forget to replace your username with the real value)
You could also modify your httpd.conf file to make your web-sharing folder the default folder... but I don't know how to do that without going through my own httpd.conf or apache documentation.
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/~username/

If you can't specify that address, just put an index.html page in
/Library/WebServer/Documents/
folder that redirects to your web-sharing folder:
Code:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title></title>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=/~username/">
</head>
<body>
<p></p>
</body>
</html>(don't forget to replace your username with the real value)

This means it's working-- your 10.2 install includes Apache documentation, and until you change the default documents folder for Apache or remove the documents Apple put in, you will see some Apache page.VegasMac said:

Sorry, I don't understand this part ...
By the way, do you mean "everydns.net"? I couldn't find a "everydaydns.net".
