domain name server problems
I have a registered domain name that points toward my server Ip address. This works fine my apache server displays the pages. Here is my problem. Say you type in my address www.server.com it goes to my home page, but in the browser address field it shows my ip address instead of my domain name. Every page I go to always shows the ip address instead of domain name in the address bar. Is this something with apache that I need to change?
my domain name is registered with network solutions, and they are web forwarding it to my ip address. Is that my problem. Do I need to set up my own dns server with bind?

If you'll be so kind as to let me know what domain this is so that I can test it for myself and find a problem, then I'd be glad to help you, whether it be an apache or dns problem. (most probably apache)

moogman prefers to keep his domain private, however, just so that other people may get an idea of the reason if they should have the same problem - I have posted my results here:

I have sent a HTTP request to your domain in telnet. This is the response:

HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Date: Sat, 16 Aug 2003 00:14:09 GMT
Server: Apache/1.3.3 (Unix)
Location: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Content-Type: text/html

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<TITLE>302 Found</TITLE>
</HEAD><BODY>
<H1>Found</H1>
The document has moved <A HREF="http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx">here</A>.<P>
<HR>
<ADDRESS>Apache/1.3.3 Server at wf.networksolutions.net Port 80</ADDRESS>
</BODY></HTML>

As you can see, the response is redirecting me to another page. The "Location" header field tells IE what to connect to. It is in the form of an IP address, so it is an IP address that you see in the browser address bar.

domain name server
so I assume the only way I am going to be able to correct this is by running a domain server off my box?

I guess after you ran that it really makes sense what it is doing.

uh, yeah. The "problem" has nothing to do with dns. Whoever has control over the webserver needs to change what it redirects to. Instead of redirecting to a IP, it needs to redirect to the domain. Or not redirect at all - whatever - but it's all about the webserver.

I read in this forum an identical problema and the answer was to change the UseCanonicalName from on to off in your httpd.conf file, maybe you should try that and see what happens.
