How to give hostname to my lighttpd server?

Added by Mahendra Liya about 13 years ago

Hello,

I am running my web server on 192.168.0.1.

In my lighttpd.conf file, I have
server.bind = "192.168.0.1"

I access my webpages through url: "http://192.168.0.1/index.html"

My problem is that I want to access it using "http://myhostname.com/index.html"

I have changed the hostname in "/etc/hosts" and "/etc/hostname" to "myhostname.com"

Now I am able to access the webpages using "http://myhostname.com/index.html" ONLY ON MY MACHINE.

I CAN NOT ACCESS IT FROM OTHER MACHINES IN THE SAME NETWORK with this url.

I even tried with server.name = "myhostname.com"

Can anybody help me with this.

Thanks in advance.
