I started out with Ubuntu 9.04 and was signing in as username of kc8tdw. When I made a virtual server and try to set admin name as kc8tdw, it wouldn’t let me. So I reloaded Ubuntu and changed the username, reloaded virtualmin and created the virtual server of kc8tdw.com.
I have aliases and dns records setup and I can not go to kc8tdw.com, I have to put in the ip address. Before using vitrualmin, I was using another control panel and had no issues using the kc8tdw.com. Can someone please let me know what I am doing wrong? I would like to use the kc8tdw.com within my network.

On the PC you are browsing from, do you have the domain and IP entered in the host file?
this is usually needed for internal browsing so your browser knows where to go
