swimmy Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Ok, i have a linksys router which has the ability to setup a dynamic dns system via an account with dyndns.org. I set it all up and everything works alright except when I try to view my local webpage http://<my_domain>/~swimmy I receive a "404 FIle not found". I have checked my router config. and the settings on my dyndns account but I still have the same problem. When I type in my actual IP address such that I have the following http://<myipaddress/~swimmy it works I am trying out this feature so that I don't have to check my ip address all the time before I leave for work to make sure I can connect to my computer. Any ideas would be great. I don't think it is anything with the apache server settings (mainly b/c I haven't toyed with them). Thank you for your courtesies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest anon Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 When did you point your domain to your IP address? it can take a few days to circulate. What is your domain name? I can run some checks for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qchem Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Are you sure your router is port forwarding to the apache server? You'd need to forward port 80. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimmy Posted March 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Are you sure your router is port forwarding to the apache server? You'd need to forward port 80. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Among other ports, I have port 80 being forwarded. My domain name is mattr.homelinux.net. I think it has something to do with my old domain name when I was running just my local intranet which used to be mattr.maverick.com. I have tried to delete but for some reason, it keeps looking this up. I deleted the entry from the bind dns via webmin and changed my hostname to the new one. I don't think the days passed has anything to do with it because I can connect to my ssh server and ftp servers from a non-local machine without any hassle. I can even connect to http://mattr.homelinux.net the problem arises when I try to connect to http://mattr.homelinux.net/~swimmy/ I have a feeling that it is because I can't get the servers to stop looking up mattr.maverick.com and accept the new doman. I am going to try to restart the servers again to see if that will change anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimmy Posted March 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 ok, it's all fixed, I just deleted all the entries referring to my old name and then restarted the server. I feel like such an idiot. I apologize for wasting your time. Thank you for your courtesies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't consider the time wasted, especially when its working properly now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
