RE: test.mydomain.com ???

["John M. Purser" <jmpurser@comcast.net>]

I got similar errors from kde using an internal name.  The problem was dns
resolution as the dhcp client was over writing my resolv.conf.  Bottom line,
the place(s) you told your computer to look for addresses didn't come up
with one for that name.

I'd say you could run your own dns server making sure it can update your dns
provider.  Or you can add a line to your /etc/hosts file giving an address
for test.mydomain.com.  Just make sure your /etc/hosts.conf has a line like:
order hosts,bind
in it.

Thanks,

I guess I will need to ask my DNS provider to insert
the test.mydomain.com address also or?

Could not get my apache to load the new configuration though.
I have specified the following in the http.conf file

NameVirtualHost test.mydomain.com
<VirtualHost test.mydomain.com>
	ServerAdmin bengt@...
	DocumentRoot /var/www/testing
	ServerName test.thuree.com
	ErrorLog /var/log/....
	CustomerLog /var/log/....
</VirtualHost>

I'm no expert, but no, you own the subdomains.  If you run your own
webserver,
for example apache, you can set up virtual domains to provide as many
heretoo.yourdomain.com as you wish.  Webhosts will have various ways of
providing what you want:  shop around.
