I've added a new virtual host configuration to my stuff, I copied a configuration file for a live site that works, modified the 7 lines that it is and then a2ensite it, added it to /etc/hosts and it's not functioning. Google chrome is saying that it simply couldn't find the domain name, I'm wondering if it's even connected to my server. But I also duplicated the *, @, and www records to point to my server.

<VirtualHost 64.253.105.250:80>
        -- REMOVED --

        DocumentRoot /home/benkuhl/public_html/

        ErrorLog /home/benkuhl/log/error_log
        TransferLog /home/benkuhl/log/access_log
</VirtualHost>

Is there some place I'm missing to modify a file or something... I'm using enom as my domain host. I feel like I'm missing something on apache...

Are you trying to test this by adding it to /etc/hosts before creating an actual DNS record for the domain? From what I can see, neither www.benkuhl.com nor benkuhl.com have valid A or CNAME records.

If you're trying to test via /etc/hosts, then did you edit this file on your client or on the server? For testing purposes, you'd need to edit your client's hosts file, not the server's.

What do you mean testing via /etc/hosts ? It's my understanding that I have to have the domain listed or it won't work. – Webnet Nov 7 '10 at 3:51

Your understanding is wrong. It sounds like you just need to create DNS records for www.benkuhl.com and benkuhl.com, pointing to your server's IP. After doing that, you'll be good. – ErikA Nov 7 '10 at 4:25
Those DNS records already exist, I've contacted enom to figure out what's up.... – Webnet Nov 7 '10 at 15:26
