 |
|
I have a problem with my web server (apache2) in regards to my hostname/domainname. I have a weird setup so this might be a lengthy post, sorry for that.
To start, here's my setup:
| Code: | / PC1 NIC1 - NIC2 PC1 \
INTERNET - Router - PC2 NIC1 - NIC2 PC2 - SWITCH
\ PC3gentoo(server1)eth0 - eth1 PC3(server1) / |
As you can see, I have 3 computer, each computer has 2 network card, the first one connected into the router (using NAT) and the second one connected into a switch. The nics connected to the router have ips in the 192.168 range and the ones in the switch have ips in the 172.16 (yeah, I used a class B for 3 computers...  )
Here's my /etc/hosts for my server (PC3) tzeentch.xxxxxx.xxx is my dyndns hostname (i replaced most of it by x to protect myself  )
| Code: | 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.0.4 tzeentch.xxxxxx.xxx tzeentch
172.16.0.10 server1.129A server1
|
Here's the result of the "hostname" command
| Code: | tzeentch@server1 tzeentch $ hostname
server1.129A
tzeentch@server1 tzeentch $
|
Here's the result of the "dnsdomainname" command
| Code: | tzeentch@server1 tzeentch $ dnsdomainname
129A
tzeentch@server1 tzeentch $
|
Here's the result of the "domainname" command
| Code: | tzeentch@server1 tzeentch $ domainname
(none)
tzeentch@server1 tzeentch $
|
Now for my problem: If I try to connect to my webpage from the internet using tzeentch.xxxxxx.xxx it works. But if I use tzeentch.xxxxxx.xxx/wfrp it doesn't work, the browser redirects itself to server1.129a/wfrp, and of course that adresse is impossible to reach from the internet. If I go to tzeentch.xxxxxx.xxx/wfrp/index.html, it works.
I'm pretty certain I did something wrong (or multiple things wrong), but I'm stuck on a rut right now and just can't figure it out.
Thank you all in advance for any and all help. Gentoo users are the best. |

Try setting Servername in your apache2.conf file to fqdn - example, I run steev.net - i had been using the localhost name (leonid)
And whenever someone would attempt to get to a sub page, or for example, my webmail directory, without the /, it would goto a random site linked to the name "leonid"
Upon changing the Servername, to
| Code: | | Servername steev.net |
It works fine now. I don't know if this is the "proper" way, and I don't have an understanding of vhosts, but I know this works for me. |
