Ubuntu :: DNS Works Only Locally

Jan 3, 2011

I have tried to host a website at home (consider it a good option and learning experience). After using some Linux distros finally decided to stick with UBUNTU (10.10). Sadly everything was ok until the configuration of BIND9 finally failed.

I am nearly blind with most concepts of networking, my understanding is really basic and am guessing my problem is on that direction but really can not figure it out.

My set up is based on a guide found at [url] and have just changed the domain name so my configuration files are:

And for the reverse zone:

My resolv.conf file looks as follows:

With the last three lines being the IP of my ISP DNSs and declared in /etc/bind/named.conf.options as formwarders.

The output of named-checkzone arquibailleres.com is:

And:

When my BIND service is restarted its output log clearly states that the zones are added and indicates "sending notifies" yet by using dig and ping everything works nicely but when I try to connect to the site from an external computer my site simply is not recognised.

Ping output:

Dig output:

I have rented a static IP address, but still when looking for my global address I see: 201.130.192.159.

To me it looks like it is working, but I already mentioned that my understanding of that stuff is really poor, I have finally ran the "port scan tool" under System -> Administration -> Network Tools and it indicates that my port 53 is assigned to "domain" and open, also port 80 is open for www.

General :: Apache Works Locally But Not Globally?

May 20, 2010

I set up apache (apache2) to create a moodle server, but I can't get it to work globally. Here is the rub: http://192.168.0.150 works beautifully, showing me the index page at /var/www [URL] (my dyndns) or http://96.49.75.14 (my current IP address) doesn't work.ssh works well globally, i.e. ssh -l myname [URL] works. pinging [URL] works without a problem. Ports 22, 80 and 443 are open on my router (checked my router's settings).I use ubuntu 10.4. Is it an iptables problem, as in http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...achine-750157/ ? But I couldn't figure out the iptables manpage.

Ubuntu Servers :: Setup Access Properly From A Public Address To A Monitoring Server That Works Fine Locally?

Apr 19, 2011

I've spent days trying to setup access properly from a public address to a monitoring server that works fine locally. Everything works from public access until I try to link to a CVS repository. The rancid CVS repository is set up as a separate server (virtualhost). It appears the referring link causes a DNS error (105: Server Not Found) when the CVS repository server is accessed from the public address. Things work fine when accessing via localhost.

Localhost link:

[URL]

Public link: (this results in 105 error caused by redirection (bold portion of link))

[URL]

Code:

Virtualhost config:
LoadModule jk_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_jk.so
JkWorkersFile /etc/apache2/workers.properties
JkLogFile /var/log/apache2/mod_jk.log

[code]....

Ubuntu Networking :: Internet Ftp "connection Refused" Works Locally

Mar 23, 2010

I am trying to set up an ftp server on my home machine so a friend and I can exchange large files. I have set up pure-ftp server and gftp client.Pure-ftp works fine behind my Dlink DSL 2740B router using host name '192.168.1.100' but not over the internet using host name '80.47.xxx.xxx' I get the message

Quote:

Looking up 80.47.xxx.xxx
Trying 80.47.xxx.xxx:21
Cannot connect to 80.47.xxx.xxx: Connection refused
Operation cancelled

I have set up port forwarding as per the attachment.I haven't set up a software firewall and my iptables -L looks like:

Quote:

$ sudo iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)

[code]....

The username I am using is part of "ftpgroup" and is the same user that works behind the router.Putting the computer in the DMZ doesn't help.I have a similar problem with SSH so I assume the problem is with the router.Other threads suggest the culprits should be port forwarding or a firewall but I can't see what is wrong.

Ubuntu :: Can't Access SSH Remotely But Can Locally

Oct 10, 2010

I've got an SSH server setup on my box which is running locally fine. I can connect to it through my local laptop but when I try to connect through the internet either via my IP or using the DynamicDNS I have setup both get an operation timed out message.I've got firestarter running with an inbound policy to allow connections from any host to port 22. I've also gone into my Netgear router and selected to forward any inbound connections to port 22 to the IP of the box that's got the SSH server on it.

Even with all this the connection just isn't being made. I've also tried temporarily setting the DMZ option on the router to forward all inbound connections to the IP of the Ubuntu box but still get the same Operation time out. Is there any other options that wouldn't allow remote connections via SSH? Or am I missing something hugely obvious here? Maybe it's possible to connect to SSH via a different port or something?I'm running Ubuntu 10.4 and have installed openssh-server via Synaptic. Would be great to get this working so I can use it as a tunnel from work and access the VNC, which I've been told should be done via SSH anyway.

Ubuntu :: Run A Program Installed On A Remote PC Locally?

Feb 11, 2010

Is it possible to run a program installed on a remote Ubuntu PC on the local PC? What I'm talking about is different from simply sending the GUI over the network (like X tunelling). I want the program to use the processor of the local machine. Is this possible?
(Here's an example. PC 1 has a fast processor. PC2 has gimp installed on it but has a slow processor. Can PC2 make GIMP run on PC1's processor over the network?)

Networking :: Set Up A Website Locally (within A LAN)?

Aug 9, 2010

How would I set up a website that would be only accessible locally. There's a router machine (server) that keeps provides internet access for a number of client machines. I need to set up a learning platform (moodle) locally. The server machine runs moodle server (apache server) and students should have access to their accounts locally (no need to be accessible outside of LAN). First of all, what would be the best network configuration for it.Sorry for a dumb question, but could I just come up with any domain name if everything stays locally within LAN?

General :: Host A Website Locally On Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty

Jul 18, 2010

I can't reach my website via http. I'm not sure but I think I just need to unblock port 80. But I can't find where a firewall has even been installed on my machine. ufw status returns inactive. sudo aptitude search firewall shows nothing installed.

Nslookup mydomain.com returns the correct IP. Pinging works.

But typing in the domain name or IP through the web browser just results in a "Network Timeout...Taking too long to respond."

Wget just hangs looking for MySiteName.com:80

VirtualHost has been set up and apache restarted. Site works fine with the ServerAlias I have assigned in my hosts file.

Ubuntu Networking :: Mount A Remote (ftp/ssh) Directory Locally

Jan 15, 2010

If you use Nautilus then you can just use the "Connect to server" from the file menu. However if you file manager does not support connecting to servers (like Thunar ) then you can use sshfs.

Code:
sudo apt-get install sshfs
You should create a directory as your mount point, say
Code:
mkdir /media/Server

Ubuntu :: Ssh Commands Execute Locally Instead Of On The Remote Computer?

Jul 12, 2010

I can ssh to the remote computer OK, but the commands execute on the local machine, not the remote machine as they should. After much frustration I did the following hoping to clear the problem. I turned off all machines on my LAN, the hub and the router. I then rebooted everything in the reverse sequence - cable modem, router, hub, and then the computers.Then I reinstalled ssh on both machines.

sudo apt-get purge openssh-server openssh-client
sudo apt-get install openssh-server openssh-client
sshd in now running and port 22 shows on both machines. However the problem persists.

Ubuntu :: Using A Locally Created Mirror For Network Installation

Nov 3, 2010

I am trying to do a net install. I set up a mirror of lenny using apt-mirror inside a virtual machine on my network using the following guide: [url]

And I changed everything in the guide specifically for Lenny.

I gave the VM bridged networking, and assigned it its own static IP address.

When I attempt do an http install, and point the installer to the address, I get the following error message: choose-mirror[3885]: WARNING **: mirror does not support the specified release (lenny).

Ubuntu :: Building Simple Locally Hosted Website?

May 9, 2011

My daughter wants to build a little website that looks a bit like a magazine for her family and select friends. Front page has links to stories or articles she'll write. She would also like to post some pictures for people to see and maybe have people add comments if they like. I'd like to host it locally on our home server and limit access with an id and password. I would use something like DYNDNS.com to point family and friends to our server where they could login. I have an Ubuntu Lamp server setup to install what we need.

Server :: Can't Log In Locally (keep Getting Login Prompt Over And Over) On Red Hat EL5?

Nov 19, 2010

We've set up a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 server and can log into it remotely just fine (with root and other users), but if I try to log in locally with a keyboard and monitor connected to the machine, I keep being returned to the login prompt. If a login is incorrect, I get an error message, but if it is correct then the screen just blanks and shows the login prompt again.While booting the only error message that comes up has to do with SNMPD, so I don't think it's related.

I read this post on the forum which seemed like a similar problem but it didn't help (I wasn't getting the "Module is unknown" message he was). I also read another post somewhere that said he was having the problem because the server was trying to use AD to authenticate, but I checked that and it's not the case with our server.From what I'm told (I didn't set up the server myself) it used to work fine, but then "something" happened one day that made it do this.

Slackware :: CLI Apps Crash Over Ssh (and Locally)?

Dec 11, 2010

I often connect to my main box via ssh and then run 'screen.' The client machine is running Slackware64 13.1, the box I connect to is running Slackware64-currentSome time ago I noticed the following phenomenon:1. Sometimes (relatively often) cli apps just freeze usually at the very beginning (when they start) and I have to either use Ctrl+C or kill a screen window. It happens both with screen an without it. I've noticed it with vim (never with emacs -nw, or nano), "slackpkg upgrade-all", sbopkg).2. Sometimes/some CLI programs display 'weird' characters. For example, sbopkg's border. It does not happen when I run the same app locally.Is it something to do with encoding? It happens both with and without 'screen'.Both 1 and 2 happen with sakura (my main terminal emulator), terminal, konsole and xterm.

Debian Configuration :: Domainname Locally Unreachable ?

Jan 4, 2011

I have a strange problem with my debian lenny server. I am running ispconfig 3, squirrelmail, webmin, clamav, etc on my lenny server. I have a few domain names binded to my ip adress. Until yesterday, everything worked fine. Today, i couldn't seem to reach my mailbox, and my website appeared to be offline. But when someone checks it from outside, it works fine! Only i cant reach it. This problem only occurs with one of the six domainnames i have. The rest is reachable for me.

I checked the logs, the ipadresses, everything seems fine. I have no clue what it could be... anyone suggestions?

Figured out the problem, party... it's a problem with my XP. If i boot in Windows 7 the site is reachable. Doesn't make sense tho.
