Test the new web site

Given the configuration above, your host PC should now be able to access - the new website.

+ the new website on the domain "excalibur.tv".

To test this, first try pinging the new DNS name:

# ping excalibur.tv
-

If there are responses to the ping, it means the DNS is working.  If - there are no responses, check the instructions in the above DNS option - section.

-

Once the DNS is working, one can try browsing to the site at: - http://greatsite.cakelampvm.com or http://greatsite.tv (depending on the - DNS option chosen).

-

If the site is not showing up properly, try examining the apache logs for - error messages that can be corrected.  The log files are stored in - /var/log/apache2 and are generally named after the website.

+

If there are responses to the ping *and* the answer is 10.28.42.20, then + it means the DNS is working.  If there are no responses or it's some + other IP address talking back, check the instructions in the above DNS + sections.

+

Once the DNS is working, try browsing to the site at "http://excalibur.tv".  + That should at least bring up the configured site storage path, even if + nothing is being served from that folder yet.

+

If the new site is not showing up properly, try examining the apache logs + for error messages that can be corrected.  The log files are stored + in "/var/log/apache2" and are named after the website (if configured as + shown above).

This is the lowest level of plumbing for your VM.  Hopefully you + will not need to engage with this section.  The most useful area here + is the one below about the "virtualbox guest additions", which you will + probably need at some future point.  Oracle releases updates to the + guest additions fairly regularly.

Configuring the guest VM

The guest VM should already be set up appropriately.  These steps are provided for reference and updates.
