XMission Control Panel/Server Tab/Host Files

Setting up Host Files

Linux

Edit your hosts file though a terminal

sudo vim /etc/hosts

The output will look similar to this

127.0.0.1   localhost
127.0.1.1   example.stafftest.cloud.xmission.com example.stafftest.cloud example.stafftest

From here you will want to add the IP address of your server and the hostname (eg. 166.70.181.4 example.com www.example.com) Should look like this

127.0.0.1 localhost
166.70.53.145 example.stafftest.cloud.xmission.com example.stafftest.cloud example.stafftest

Save your work and close your file by pressing the ESC key and typing :wq followed by enter. Now when you go to your domain on your computer it will resolve to the IP address you specified.
