Still will not render on 1 site

[Vegan]

All my apache conf files are identical except for path and domain. All folder are 777 so that is not a problem.

4 sites work fine, only 1 will not cooperate. Thoughts?

This is bizarre, go outside and try it and it works, through the LAN no joy.

[alienprdkt]

that is odd, you reboot your machines? (maybe its stuck in cache)

[jpeddicord]

Make sure you reloaded your Apache configuration.


sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload

If it doesn't work after that, post your virtualhosts here and we'll try to figure this out. :)

I think its a IE 8 beta 2 defect, what did expect from Redmond????

I went to the library and the sites all came up properly. Go figger.

So I have Ubuntu 8.10 graunched into use, what a headache managing a server with limited manuals and resources.

Good thing I have an IQ > lettuce.

I have rebooted everything. So time to work on the IE problems.

Add the local ip (192.168.x.x) and domain to /etc/hosts like so:

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1
192.168.0.10 yourhost1.yourdomain.com yourhost2.yourdomain.com yourhost3.yourdomain.com yourhost4.yourdomain.com

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

I was planning on using BIND for some functionality.

Here is my hosts file:

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 contract-developer.dyndns.biz ubuntu
64.59.160.13 nsc1.cv.gv.shawcable.net
64.59.160.15 nsc2.cv.gv.shawcable.net

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

Correctly configuring bind will probably solve all your problems: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIND9ServerHowto

Basically, your router is not intelligent enough to loop your domain back to a local ip, so unless you have a domain server on your local network your clients have no way of finding your servers. The way I've been getting around this (I only have 2 domains) is by configuring the hosts file on all the clients so it points to the server's IP instead of trying to resolve by DNS.

On Ubuntu clients, the hosts file is in /etc/hosts, on Windows clients, the hosts file is in %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

[Vegan]

Is there a simple configuration option or bind9?

5 in total for now, more to come

Would like to have mail stuffed into it too and anything else relevant.

I installed postfix and dovecot so far.

Bind is extremely powerful and robust. For that reason, it is not simple, sorry.

Here's a postfix howto which includes specific directions for incorporating gmail (useful for dynamic domains so your email doesn't get blacklisted): http://behindmyscreen.newsvine.com/_news/2006/12/31/501615-configuringubuntu-postfix-and-gmail-in-101-easy-steps

I was wanting to use mail based on my domains. I wanted to abandon, gmail etc.

In any event, I need to clean up my hosts.

The Linux box has a staic IP of 192.168.7.250 so the port forwarding knows where to go.

[dmizer]

You have to use gmail with a dynamic host, otherwise all your sent mail will get spam blocked. All you would be using your gmail account for would be as an invisible SMTP relay.

Someone sent me a DNS root file, so where does it go?
