Hello. I just installed a2t and can't change the password. When I try it through the control panel I get: Unable to connect! Now I connected to the mysql database so I don't know what it can't conect to.

Also does anyone know how I can get people only to see my websites through this? Oh and I have version 1.1.7

Thank you

Seems this isn't a problem anymore since I found out that since my ip changes no one can view my site anyway...

I tried to get the virtual host to work so other people could see my website but it didn't work. :( This is what I have in the httpd.conf file.

Quote: NameVirtualHost darkshogun.dynalias.net:80






<VirtualHost darkshogun.dynalias.net:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@darkshogun.dynalias.net
DocumentRoot c:/apache2/htdocs/
ServerName darkshogun.dynalias.net
ServerAlias darkshogun.dynalias.net:80
DirectoryIndex index.html
ErrorLog c:/apache2/logs/darkshogun.dynalias.net-error.log
CustomLog c:/apache2/logs/darkshogun.dynalias.net-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Does anyone know what is wrong?

In your case I don't really think you need to setup a vhost. You could just run the domain change script to change the main server config so that it uses your domain instead of localhost.

If you really do need to setup a vhost (see below for a good reason to do so) the you'll need to say what error you get for me to help.
Start apache from a shell (command prompt) and post the error you get.

I can tell you tho' that in your case you don't need to use the "SeverAlias" directive. That might even been causing the problem.
Other than that I don't see what could cause problems

Anyway the only real reason I can see for using a virtual host is if for example you want people visiting your domain to straight away see php-nuke rather than the contents of htdocs. In which case change "DocumentRoot".

Do you know how I would start apache via the command prompt? As far as errors I don't personally get any but when people try to access the address I give them they can't get in.

One person got:

504
500

First the 504 then I changed something (don't know what but it was in that bit of code I had above) and then he just got 500.

Edit I just had another person try it after I changed the url via the control panel and he gets a server error.
