Hi Bill,

Still not working... :(

This is what happens...

-------------------------------------

zappy# /usr/pkg/sbin/httpd start

------------------------

REMOVED.demon.co.uk is the name that resolves to my ip address on my
router. I don't know if NetBSD would have to check this out somewhere,
it may just think its on a private network? I really don't know, I'm
just very very confused.

Thank you for your persistence in helping me! I'm glad I can now do this
on a terminal using ssh on my regular machine!

Cheers,

Tristan

You need to do both lines. The "::1" line is for IPv6, and the "127. .."
one is for IPv4.

You can add "zappy" to the other lines, but I'd actually put zappy in at
the IP address you gave it w/ dhcp.

Zapping the duplicate line wouldn't hurt.

No, the problem is I bet appache's using IPv4, and you adjusted the IPv6
entry.

No, it should work.

Oh, you aren't logging in as root, are you? That is disabled by default
in
ssh.

Make a user account for you, and use that. I do that on all of my
machines, even ones I'm the only person who uses. Keeps "accidents" from
happening; most of the system you can only touch if you first su.

Take care,

Bill
