Hopefully another simple one: What's the difference between httpd stop followed by httpd start and httpd restart? I just did the mod for viewing sites before propogation and it wouldn't work until I did a stop/start rather than restart.
Pure coincidence Once you have saved a site, it is viewable. The default page will be their. No need to stop/start. BUT...........This alone does not get a person to the site. You need the url to point at the ip and the dns servers must pass that around. To bypass this major point, it has been pointed out many time, that on a windows box to add the ip and url to you "hosts" file. This will then allow your computer to go to the ip and ask for the url. I will work with your browser, ftp, ssh, but NOT email.
