Connecting to the server

[alanfallow]

Hi Folks
I have a 2008 server from epichosts. I wondered how to connect a domain to it. I have pointed the domain to the ip using an a record but all i get is
Server Error
403 - Forbidden: Access is denied.
You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.

Any help would be great thank you.

The A record is all that is needed. Sounds like you don't have the web server configured correctly

Hi thanks.
Is there a guide or anything for that

There are lots of guides on the internet. Just search whatever platform you're developing on. Apache, LightHTTPd, Ngix, IIS/ASPX etc.

Thank you. I will be running Wordpress hopefully. Have setup MySQL ok. Was hoping to run asp too if that’s possible. I have a Linux server so was hoping to try asp or something different. Would that be iss/aspx. Sorry never used windows server before.

You can run any of them on Windows. IIS/ASPX is the most common on Windows.
