Windows XP hosts file
-
The server name is separate from the hostname, the latter being configure via Apache or similar, correct? When you say virtual host, you mean a virtual host with Apache? Sorry for the lame question, but I'm trying to figure out how Email and DNS all play togather and it's proving to be quite a discombobulating experience. :P
I'm finding the only constant in software development is change it self.
yup yup ... set up an apache virtual host called "dev-server" and set up the hosts entry on xp to point that name at the server ip address ... then you can type in "dev-server" on your xp browser and it will resolve to that ip address and apache will catch it as a virtual host it supports and you will see files ;) there are no lame questions btw ... just lame answers

not so no ... the server name isnt necessarily going to work like that ... you have to set up a virtual host on the debian box called "dev-server" instead of "debianhost" as i said before ... make sure the hosts file on xp has that as a name for the ip address of the debian box i use this setup all the time to test things on xp except i develop on linux and use vnc to go to a windows box on the network and from there i can browse back to the dev server ;)

You don't have any experience with setting up a postfix server by chance do you? :) Apologies for the strange request on a Windows programming forum yet, but I'm having a helluva time figuring out how to get my particular installation working -- not sure whats going on. :(
