There are several different areas that you need to set up.

On RedHat Linux you will need to do the following:

in /etc/named.conf you will need to create a zone entry for your domain.

1. zone "example.com" IN {       type master;    file "example.com";   allow-update { 192.168.0.1; localhost; }; }

Change the IP Address 192... to your server IP and example.com to your domain name.

Then in /var/named you will have to create a Zone file

1. $TTL 86400
2. @               IN      SOA     ns.yourserver.com. 
3. sysadmin.yourserver.com. (
4.                         2007120301 ;
5.                         3600 ; refresh
6.                         900 ; retry
7.                         1209600 ; expire
8.                         86400 ; default_ttl
9.                         )
10. example.com.     IN      MX      10      mail.example.com.
11. mail            IN      A       192.168.0.1
12. @               IN      NS      ns.yourserver.com.
13. @               IN      NS      ns1.yourserver.com.
14. home          IN      A       192.168.0.1
15. secure        IN      A       192.168.0.1
16. ;virtual domain information
17. ftp             IN      A       192.168.0.1
18. @             IN      A       192.168.0.1
19. www         IN      A       192.168.0.1

After you have your Zone files then you will need to add an entry into your httpd.conf

On my server it is located at /etc/httpd/conf (it may be somewhere else on your server)

Here is the VirtualHost information

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

1. <VirtualHost 192.168.0.1:80>
2. ServerAdmin sysadmin@yourserver.com
3. DocumentRoot /domains/example.com
4. ServerName example.com
5. ServerAlias www.example.com
6. ErrorLog /domain/example.com/logs/error_log
7. CustomLog /domains/example.com/logs/access_log combined
8. ErrorDocument 404 /oops/404.html
9. ErrorDocument 500 /oops/500.html
10. </VirtualHost>

After you have all of the info entered then you will have to restart your named and httpd
