Hi Bob, thanks for the reply. I meant to get back to you sooner but 'LIFE' happened. So , here is where I am now. I gave up on wordpress for the moment and built a static webpage. I can access the site and it displays correctly . Everything works but I still cannot get it to display the domain name. It will come up if I type the URL or the domain name but it shows only the URL in the search Bar. I have traced it all the way back to my registrar. the site www.metaldetectingfinds.net is assigned to 75.79.72.XXX just as it is supposed to be. my winodws host file is: # Copyright © 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp. # # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows. # # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each # entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should # be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name. # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one # space. # # Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual # lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol. # # For example: # # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server # 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.0.1 localhost:80 #127.0.0.1 www.metaldetectingfinds.net 75.79.72.xxx www.metaldetectingfinds.net 75.79.72.xxx metaldetectingfinds.net ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ and this is my HTTPD CONF file; NameVirtualHost *:80 #====== DEFAULT VIRTUAL HOST =========== # LOCALHOST <VirtualHost _default_:80> # ServerName localhost # DocumentRoot C:/UniServer0/www </VirtualHost> ### Section 4: Secure section # Secure (SSL/TLS) connections # Include conf/ssl.conf # # Note: The following must must be present to support # starting without SSL on platforms with no /dev/random equivalent # but a statically compiled-in mod_ssl. # #<IfModule ssl_module> # SSLRandomSeed startup builtin # SSLRandomSeed connect builtin #</IfModule> <IfModule mod_ssl.c> Include conf/ssl.conf </IfModule> ##########VIRTUAL HOST SETUP########## # WWW.METALDETECTINGFINDS.NET <VirtualHost 75.79.72.XXX> ServerName www.metaldetectingfinds.net DocumentRoot C:/UniServer0/www/newmetal/html </VirtualHost> I cannot find the problem. Is there somewhere else I need to look. I have a total of 8 static IP's. one for Uniserver and 7 more for my sites.

Hi Everyone, I am hoping that is an easy solution and that I have just not been looking in the right places. I have setup Uniserver once before and everything worked great but this time I am pulling my hair out which is not a good idea for a guy with not much to begin with. at any rate My websites display perfectly on localhost, but I lose the header and other formatting on the remote browser. also it will only show the IP address. If I type in the domain name the site will come up but the domain name does not show. I have been over windows host file, the virtual host file and everything else i can think of so I must now ask for your learned council on the subject. I hope that this is enough information. if not I can send you whatever you need. I just know it is something Reeeaally stupid I am missing. Thanks in advance ps this I am running the 5.5 Nano version and Wp 3.1.1 if that makes a difference.
