Hi guys, on all of my sites on linode if I visit the URL without the www. then it can't find the website. Firefox seems to be able to work it out but chrome doesn't.

I was trying to set up google mail with the account today and required http://standingstart.net/ though it can't find it - and neither can chrome.

Is there something I missed during my lampstack installation?
I run ubuntu lucid

any help would be great.
chris

Layman's terms; you did not add in a A Record for the "@" root of your domain name. You need a default ip, you only set one for "www" subdomain that points to; 178.79.183.119

PS;
You haven't set any text records for;
1. TXT verification
2. SPF (email anti-spoof)
3. DKIM encryption with gmail.

Thanks for the reply - I really appreciate it.

So what exactly do I have to put in an A Record? By root do you mean 'standingstart.net' - if I enter that into the box it disappears.

And cheers for the gmail info, I'll add that the next time I'm there.

Haha Awesome - I had no idea that I had lol

I have gone through setting gmail up and it all seems to be working. I can send and receive email via gmail though when I try to use the gmail address to send mail via the forum I get errors:

Code:
Zend_Mail_Protocol_Exception: 'smtp.gmail.com ' appears to be a DNS hostname but cannot match TLD against known list, 'smtp.gmail.com ' does not appear to be a valid local network name - library/Zend/Mail/Protocol/Abstract.php:145

Either the logging has a bug, or there's a space at the end of "smtp.gmail.com" in your configuration.
