Help getting Apache to aknowledge domain - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Stiltzkin · 12-25-2004, 06:33 PM

My uncle has a DNS server and has the subdomain manny.comsrc.com pointing to my IP. My IP address is 24.92.113.65 (you can also find this out by doing a ping on manny.comsrc.com), and my Apache server is working perfectly, except that when I type in the url http://manny.comsrc.com/ (in my browser) it simply times out and does nothing. Am I supposed to wait for some kind of network refresh or... maybe I need to change some setting somewhere? I have Apache2Triad and the package comes with a script that will change the domain to whatever I need it to be in every configuration file. And I did that already. Still not working. What else can I do?

Be sure you've set the following directives in your Apache httpd.conf (search for them and make sure they match your domain):

ServerName your.domain.com

HTML Code:

<VirtualHost *:80>
     //other stuff before and after
    ServerName your.domain.com
</VirtualHost>

(you may want to copy this last one so you've got entries both with and without the www.)

Do you have a router or anything "in front" of your machine with Apache on it? If you have a cable router like Linksys, D-Link, etc, you need to forward port 80 (or whatever port you have Apache listening on) to your Apache machine.

D'oh! You're right! I used to have my website on IIS, so I should already know this from experience. I'm about to try that...

EDIT: I checked my settings and my router is already set to forward port 80 to 192.168.1.100 (from way back when I was running the IIS server), which I assume is my desktop, as I remember that the router automatically assigned my laptop as 192.168.1.101

I don't remember how to check my local IP to confirm that my desktop is indeed 192.168.1.100
Hmm...

EDIT: All right. I figured out how to check which PC is which. Guess at some point in time my desktop became 192.168.1.101 and my laptop 192.168.1.100, which is fine. Now to fix the settings and see what happens...

Well, nothing seems to work. I tried what Evil_Timmy said, and I also forwarded port 80 to 192.168.1.101, and I am certain that my desktop (my server) is 192.168.1.101. I'm going to see if a reboot does any good.

EDIT: Didn't do any good. Now I am thoroughly annoyed, because doing this was much easier with IIS >_<;;;
Imagine that.
