Can't add another domain (nano saves file as ms-dos app)

nano doesn't do weird things like that. Most likely Filezille is just making a stupid assumption because of the ".com" file extension.

When you say it doesn't work, what exactly do you mean?

Filezilla is just trying to be helpful and tell you what that extension means–on Windows, not on your linode.

I think you can name the site configurations whatever you want, but using the domain name is great.

Before you make any DNS changes (but after enabling the site and reloading apache), the quick way to test the site is to see what you get:

telnet <ip> 80

GET / HTTP/1.0
Host: www.yourdomain.com</ip>

Edit: then press return TWICE.

Hope that helps!

That souds true, probably thats the answer to my "ms-dos" problem.

Well, I changed name servers with my domain name registar, and my site is not showing. Instead, I get a page with a lot of adds.

I know about 24h propagination, but no way that any site is showing adds all that time. I changed many name servers in my life, swithing hosting and all, but this can't be right.

Besides, for my first domain, when I prepared everything on linode, and when I changed name servers, only couple of minutes later, my site was working on new hosting (linode) and it was all fine.

"Before you make any DNS changes (but after enabling the site and reloading apache), the quick way to test the site is to see what you get:

telnet 80

GET / HTTP/1.0

Host: www.yourdomain.com"

where do I type this, in ssh command line (using Putty)?

Thanks for helping me out, really appreciate!

Are you switching to Linode's DNS? Or just changing IPs in the registrar's DNS? The ad page is probably the registrar's own parking page.

From a cmd window on your PC, or the ssh command line on your linode. Replace with the IP the site is on. At least if you do this and see the HTML you expect in return, you'll know it's just a DNS problem :)

I'm swithcing to Linode's DNS. Yes, the page is probably the registrars parking page.

Thanks, I just did everything again, made a file in sites-available, did a2ensite, restarted apache, and changed swithced my domain to Linode dns. So will see what will happened…

Solved :)

It must have been that I made some mistake :oops: , don't know what, but now when I did everything from begining again, it works!

Thank you all!
