The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Setting up DNS on Fedora

Asked by horalia in Fedora Linux, Linux Setup, Linux Networking

Tags: fedora, dns, setting, up

Hi, I'm having trouble setting up my web server with DNS. I need to do this because, apparently, I need to have DNS set up in order to have the capability of using sendmail. Anyways, here are some details:

1. I'm running a web server on a Fedora Core 5 box.
2. I'm running the service using Apache, MySQL and PHP.
3. I only want the users in my private network to be able to access the web site, or Intranet.
4. I already have a web site up and running, has been running for the last 8 months.
5. The IT department provided me with a static IP,
6. The hostname is being resolved using NETBIOS broadcast, and currently am not running DNS on the Fedora box.
7. Using the GUI, under the DNS tab when selecting the Networking menu, I have filled in the hostname, primary DNS and secondary DNS.
8. If I do an nslookup <IP address>, the name doesn't get resolved, I get the following:
*** ren.mine.com can't find 10.12.12.12: Non-existent domain
9. Service names is running.

I started to read chapter 18 of the HOWTO Linux Home Networking site, but I'm starting to get confused, seems like the instructions are geared toward someone interested in running their own web server and making it available to the Internet.
Can someone help me get started? Thanks!
