Re: itools V1 #419

Thanks for the reply!

This isn't actually an issue because of the way DynDNS works. I know
for a fact that the DNS server is working fine because
https://www.mydomain.com:85 opens just fine.

 Keep in mind that if you want to run a dynamic DNS server, every time your
 connection is restarted a new IP for your DNS server will be provided.
 Therefore, every time your IP changes it will take anywhere (these are just
 estimates) from 3-5 days to populate everywhere.


So the problem is clearly in the iTools setup. Although the manual
says host-based configuarations are possible, it appears as this is
not an option.

 So my question is, how do I create host-based (not IP-based) virtual
 host? I know everything at DynDNS is set up correctly, as I was able
 to host easily w/ Mac OS Server 10.3. But with iTools, I'm forced to
 enter an IP address. What should I enter? It's dynamic! Right now I
 have the server's LAN address (192.168.1.100) entered as the IP. The
 funny thing is that people on my LAN can access www.mydomain.com just
 fine... it's the people on the other side of te router that can't
 connect.


Thanks for your thoughts.

Hi again, I would suggest that perhaps you haven't fully set up the host properly - you would need to firstly create a new virtual host in iTools web admin under web settings. When you create the host, specify * as the IP & once created, Apache should respond to any request for that name, whether router from your internal network or from outside. Have you ensured that your forwarding setup is correct for web serving (port 80 forwarded to the internal IP of your server) Also, you don't have DHCP running on your internal network do you? Make sure you have a static IP on the internal network. I've never run dynamic DNS, as our network is all static IPs, but I believe the above should work. --
