Apache home server with domain name

[fatboyjim]

Hi

I recently purchased a domain name from www.123-reg.co.uk and would like to set up a home server with Apache to run on that domain name

I have it running fine at the moment as a local server but I'm not sure what to add to the configuration to make it run on my .co.uk domain

Any help greatly appreciated


PS. I'm not doing this as a macho thing only to learn and will probably buy hosting after a while.

# ServerName allows you to set a host name which is sent back to clients for
# your server if it's different than the one the program would get (i.e., use
# "www" instead of the host's real name).
#
# Note: You cannot just invent host names and hope they work. The name you
# define here must be a valid DNS name for your host. If you don't understand
# this, ask your network administrator.
# If your host doesn't have a registered DNS name, enter its IP address here.
# You will have to access it by its address (e.g., http://123.45.67.89/)
# anyway, and this will make redirections work in a sensible way.
#
# 127.0.0.1 is the TCP/IP local loop-back address, often named localhost. Your
# machine always knows itself by this address. If you use Apache strictly for
# local testing and development, you may use 127.0.0.1 as the server name.
#
#ServerName my.domain.com

Uncomment ServerName, put your domain there.

Done and Done... just set up webforwarding as well on my domain provider's page and it works perfectly

Thanks
