I have seen that on who is my name servers are show bellow:
NS3.ZONEEDIT.COM
NS9.ZONEEDIT.COM
But i still don't see my site, i see the old files that i had on my server.
Also when i was setting up the domain name i have also done this step:
More info on domain name propagation:
[en.wikipedia.org]

you now need to edit a line in the httpd.conf file to allow virtual host. open c:\wamp\apache2\conf\httpd.conf and find this line:
#Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

remove the pound sign ( # ) at the beginning of that line to enable this setting. save the file and restart apache for the new setting to take effect.

Please help !



Thank You

you need to add the virtualhost configuration to your httpd-vhosts.conf file.

I have done the fallowing already, at the beginning:

I have added the fallowing:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin Admin@YouHostMe.com
DocumentRoot C:/wamp/users/youhostme.com/public_html
ServerName www.youhostme.com
ServerAlias youhostme.com
ErrorLog C:/wamp/users/youhostme.com/logs/error.log
CustomLog C:/wamp/users/youhostme.com/logs/access.log common
</VirtualHost>

I have edited the fallowing:
NameVirtualHost *:80



Thank You

C:\>ping youhostme.com

It still shows the old page that i had before i updated by name servers.



Thank You

I will wait couple more hours and if the domain name will still not work i will re-install Wamp.

Also i have one more questions, it's not regarding the domain name. What is the best software to run Wamp on it. By saying software i mean like Windows Xp, Windows Vista, Linux.



Thank You

What do you think about Linux ? Will it run better than in Windows Xp ?

Also i'm not sure if it supposed to be like that after you have set up a domain name on wamp. But when i go to "[localhost]; i got this message "Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server." Does it supposed to show like that ?

It always said that it need from 6 to 72 hrs to propagate, so your domain can work properly, but mine was up and run within less than 3 hrs, so if it take too long for you mean that something is serious wrong w/ your setup, so reinstall wamp will NOT solve the issue.

On my own opinion, wamp on vista is much better than on xp; I currently have 3 machines, 1 vista business and 2 xp pro, that run 24/7 and vista unit always outperform the other 2. Anyway, don't reply on any one's opinion, even mine, but try it yourself the same time on both os to see the differences. Just my 2 cents.

Have fun,

Thank you guys for all the information.
I hope the domain name will work tomorrow morning.



Thank You
