 |
|
Hi,
I'd like to host my personal web site on my own computer. I've bought the aix-pc.com domain name, registered at zoneedit.com, installed ddclient. Everything seems to work fine as when I look in the logs I get :
| Code: | | Aug 4 12:21:08 hugolt ddclient[5586]: SUCCESS: updating aix-pc.com: IP address set to 82.120.15.213 (200: Update succeeded.) |
Here is my ddclient.conf file :
| Code: | # Check every 600 seconds :
daemon=600
#log update messages to syslog
syslog=yes
#mail update messages to root
mail=root
mail-failure=root
#record PID in file
pid=/var/run/ddclient/ddclient.pid
#found after IP address
use=web, web=checkip.dyndns.org/, web-skip='IP Address'
# Zone Edit (zoneedit.com)
server=www.zoneedit.com
protocol=zoneedit1
login=****
password=****
aix-pc.com
|
The problem resides when I try to ping aix-pc.com : it doesn't ping anything ... with the IP, of course it works ...
I think it might be due to DNS configuration or something like that but I don't know much about that, so if you guys have any idea ... you're welcome
thanks

It is hardly surprising that you cannot ping your outside IP from within the LAN - just enter the domain and hostnames in /etc/host to point to the internal IP.

In fact my computer is behind a router that forwards port 80 to me. My computer is hugodt.noisyfriends.com as noisyfriends.com is my LAN domain name. Should my domain name be aix-pc.com to suit the right specifications ?
I think the two domain names aix-pc.com and noisyfriends.com have no relation but is it true ? |

I've found the command nslookup (emerge bind-tools), to use instead of a simple ping after a DNS update :
| Code: | nslookup -type=NS aix-pc.com
Server: 80.118.192.100
Address: 80.118.192.100#53
Non-authoritative answer:
aix-pc.com nameserver = ns17.zoneedit.com.
aix-pc.com nameserver = ns8.zoneedit.com.
Authoritative answers can be found from:
ns17.zoneedit.com internet address = 209.126.159.118
ns8.zoneedit.com internet address = 206.55.124.4
|
so my domain name aix-pc.com is well provided by two zoneedit nameserver ...
If I still can't connect to my web site then the problem comes from transmission of name/address resolution between zone edit nameserver and my ISP (Wanadoo France) nameserver ...
If anybody have ideas ... thanks |

Just add the external hostname as an alias for the internal IP of the box in /etc/hosts - all will be fine.
