Hey...

WE get "Server not found" errors when typing the domains the server hosts, but telnet worked just fine.

email works fine

(ON EDIT. I followed below advice to reboot, I really had to do /sbin/shutdown -r now)
it said:
Broadcast message from root (0) Wed Dec 26 11:23:17 2001...

The system is going down for reboot NOW !!

So, I still can't get the sites up

I know our registrar had to update their db
could that be why the url's won't show after reboot and mail/telnet work?

Thanks

Usually, an "apachectl start" at the root shell will do it. If that doesn't work, specificy the path to the apache bin directory, ex:

./usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start

Oh, what I just posted is how to restart apache. If you want to restart the actual machine, you type:

shutdown -r now

It could be a stale dns record on the name servers you use. Can you access the site from a different network?
