hi, please tell me if roissystudiotest.ca is the 'real' domain name? It is not registered...[1] and, 'ping' is for an IP number, nothing to do with a domain name... when you use 'ping' and you ping domain.name then, your system does a dns lookup, to first find IP number for domain.name - and then 'pings' that ip number... so, 'ping' is not useful for apache/web issues - except maybe to see if a domain host resolves and accepts icmp...

What happens if you use the host command? You can also use the host command with the IP address, to see what host name shows up. What happens if you use the IP address with a browser?
The host command without an argument gives me a help listing.
The host command with my server's local IP address gives me a list of all virtual hosts listed in my hosts file.
Entering my local IP in a browser gets me to Gerbera's control panel.
