Need help with DNS on Cpanel. Website doesn't find my server.

I posted this on the forums for my hosting company (ev1) but haven't found a solution yet and yes, I'm very new to this and I'm sure I haven't worded my question right but I would appreciate any help. I've been at this for two days now and am completely stumped. Forgive the novel! Need help with DNS on Cpanel. Website doesn't find my server.

I followed a HOWTO: Cpanel Newbie Guide [I have the URL but vb won't let me post it] and when I came to the nameserver part I wanted to keep it simple so I used my hosts (ns1.ev1servers.net and ns2.ev1servers.net). I don't know if I was suppose to or not, but I clicked the "Add an A entry for this nameserver" link after typing them in Cpanel.

I also changed my hostname to one of my own: server.mydomain.com and edited all these files to reflect it also: /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/hosts, /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, /etc/wwwacct.conf, and /etc/sysconfig/network. I rebooted after I was done with everything.

I've added two accounts on my server. One of my own which will be the main site for my server (mydomain.com) and one for a friends site that I'm going to host (friendssite.com). Mydomain.com hasn't had time to propogate to ev1servers yet, but friendssite.com has long ago, yet it's still not bringing anything up if you try and go to his site.

Have I missed a setting somewhere?
