For Mac Osx Users Having Difficulty With New Web Site Access

If you run OS X, you can add definitions of the newAuralMoon.com to your hosts file.


The easiest way for you to do this, assuming you're not a unix vi editor wiz, is to do the following:

1. Log into an account with Admin privies.

2. Open the Terminal app found in /Applications/Utilities

3. enter: sudo /Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit

4. at the Password: prompt, enter the admin account's password.

5. a TextEdit window will open.

6. go to the File item in the menu bar and select Open

7. In the Open popup, type /etc in the search window. You will get a window that says: Go to the folder.... click the Go button

8. find the file called "hosts". Click on it and click on the Open button.

9. use your cursor keys and move to the end of the file.


it should look something like this:

##
# Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
##
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
#



10. enter the following two lines to thebottom of this file:


64.253.47.118 auralmoon.com
64.253.47.118 www.auralmoon.com

11. again, go to File in the menu bar and Save this file.

12. Restart your Mac
