Back up a few steps. Are you able to reach www.pilotalk.dyndns.biz?
Using the dig tool to find what IP address is assigned to that
hostname I get this:
$ dig @ns1-2.dyndns.org www.pilotalk.dyndns.biz
; <<>> DiG 9.3.4 <<>> @ns1-2.dyndns.org www.pilotalk.dyndns.biz

There does not appear to be any IP assigned. Removing the www.,
returns an IP of 67.54.156.245. If that's your IP, then you've got
things setup partly, but if you want to use the www. prefix, you'll
need to add it (either a CNAME or A record).

What is the output when you attempt to start it? What, if anything,
is logged in /var/log/httpd/error_log?
