hi! im very new to apache. on xandros linux i have apache installed and i have a domain name i'd like to use(robotcult.net). how do i get the nameservers to update the nameservers section on the registrars site(godaddy.com)? or how do i get robotcult.net to be associated with my apache installation? i dont even know if i am asking the right questions... :/ the only thing that works right now is going to http://68.187.230.162:8080 (which is my router pointing to my internal linux box ip) haha please dont mind the current index page :P

in the httpd.conf there is a section for server name
if you set server name to robotcult.net
then send the ip number to godaddy.com

hii!! thank you for the response!
i tried that earlier and i get this "Nameserver 1 has an invalid TLD." error

tried variations with ports
68.187.230.162 - "Nameserver 1 has an invalid TLD."
68.187.230.162:8080 - "Nameserver 2 has an invalid TLD."

do i need to put the port number with robotcult.net on the ServerName line in httpd.conf? im listening on 8080 with my internal ip...

listening on port 80 then port number is required.
with dns, and with server config port directive.
( also in httpd.conf )
so that browsers can connect to correct port.

it does take up to 72 hours to get full dns convergence.

editing to add:
you should haave full docs on apache, but this is the bind address data from apache docs, for 1.3.0
no difference with apache 2 for this part.
