Ubuntu Servers :: Pointing A Domain To IP Address?
Aug 9, 2011
I have a server hosted with greatseeder.com, its a dedicated ubuntu server using Ubuntu 10.4.I have set up apache2 together with php5, and build a website from that. If you go though the ip address (http://94.23.251.209) the website loads fine, but if you go though the domain (athenagaming.com) it don't.I have registered the domain at domain.com. The nameservers I got from the host did not work, so I used a free dns site, to refer the domain to the ip address. The site I use is, http://freedns.afraid.org. I have signed up the domain, and added the nameservers i got from free dns to domain.com. But still it can't find the server though the domain, even though when I trace the domain it comes back all[URL]
I'm using Ubuntu Server (32bit) on a machine at home. I've bought a domain name(s) via Heartinternet.co.uk and my ISP is Bethere.co.uk I have installed my LAMP Server on my home based server and it's accessible via my static IP address. HTTP is forwarded on my router to my Ubuntu (web)Server. Now then, in laymen's terms, I want my domain name to resolve to my Ubuntu Server. I have installed and configured Bind9 to this guide found online: http://goo.gl/M3Pk i understand that I need to do this in order to 'host' the domain name. Or alternatively, if my presumptions are correct, I could leave the domain name with the registrar and use their DNS config panel to add an A record to point at my webserver (static IP address)???
If I forward port 53 (default for DNS) to my server (after setting up bind9 correctly) and within my domain name hosting options change the nameserver settings to point at my static ip address then would this be enough to host my domain from my home network?
I feel I nearly have a whole picture but...not quite. There's a multitude of vague guides on the internet (vague or I'm not reading them properly!)
My test server is going well for the past 2 months. I have learned a lot from searching the net for how to's and forums on questions I have. My next task on the to-do list is enabling ssl on my mail server. I have the ssl setup with an automatic redirect from http to https.It is working fine with a minor issue.I have 2 domains and several subdomains on the server. Since I have enabled ssl, it seems for any of the domain/subdomain links I type in with a https://, it takes me to my mail server site. How can I have it set to only one secure link to my mail server?
I have 4 servers that I got at auction and they now have ubuntu running with gnome interface.I installed apache2 and tried to edit the conf file but i am not sure if it is a router issue a dns or the config.I am trying to figure out how to set the server to hold the domain from a dynamic ip address and also how to create some test page to see if i can acess from the internet.
I have purchased some books on the command lines and how ubuntu works, I am understanding it so far, but dont know how to have a directory for the dns request to point to for the sitewhat i want to do with the servers...voipeb server for about 4 websites - one is for a volunteer rescue organization, another for a test auction site and 2 portfolio sitesremote file access- if possiblealso on a side note, is it possible to have a message relay from one cell phone or transmit to the server and have it send sms message to cell phones? - this will be used for the rescue group as well.
i have registered two domain names that i want to use to connect to my ubuntu server. I was wondering how to do this i was looking at bind9 but that didn't work that great. The server is behind a router with firewall i can connect to it using the external IP address but i like to use the two domain names if that is possible.
The company I work for, as usual, is Microsoft-centric. I'm attempting to integrate my Ubuntu server into the domain to allow domain users to authenticate to the server and access file shares using Samba. Here's my current configuration:
I am thinking about buying a domain name and hosting my web server.
I have seen pricing from $8 to $30 a year. Any favorites from fellow ubunters? Also this whole "whois" thing scares me, if I am correct my information I enter when buying the domain is enter into some big pool of information. People can find this information out and dig up important information. url Can I prevent this with private Whois or how do I set it up? This website examples some of my fears with this whole WhoIs thing, url whois/Private-Whois.html Does most/all domain registers come with email or just email forwarding or both? How does that work? At this moment, my only question about Web Hosting is how do I get Website Statistics as in: Stats, web analytics, web traffic stats and more? I will be web hosting through Ubuntu 9.10 gnome.
Ubuntu Server 9.10I want to set up my dhcp server to also be my DNS server so do I skip these lines or point them at the same server that the config file is on?
In the office there is a local network with samba+openldap PDC. The local domain name is company.net. The company desided to create a corporate Website on a remote hosting and desided that the site's domain should be company.net which is same as local network's domain name. So now it is not possible to reach that corporate website from within the company's local network because, as I guess, bind9 which is installed on above menioned PDC looks for company.net on a local webserver. Is there a possibility to let people from this local network browse the remote site?
I have a server running ubuntu 8.04 with apache2. What I'd like to know is how to go about setting up a domain name? I've looked at a heap of hosting sites, but they son't seem to allow you to specify your own IP address that you already have. Also, I'm not sure about what, if any kind of DNS software I would then have to run on my server. At this stage I'm only doing preliminary research about it I guess.
Since two days i m not able to browse websites using the domain names but able to ping/browse using IP addressed. I have done the following:
1. Using wireless i m able to get IP address of DNS (8.8.8., Gateway, localhost & router ip address 2. Disabled wireless and connected ETH0 but still the same problem 3. not able to edit resolv.conf
sudo gedit resolv.conf ** (gedit:4179): WARNING **: Hit unhandled case 0 (Error opening file: Input/output error) in parse_error.
Recently I need to redirect domain name that is a mobile minisite called m.domain.com/abc to external hosting web server ip with like 123.123.123.123/abc in our apache web server. This website is hosting in external. Our apache is 2.0.53, because I am new in Linux, so I don't know how to work out this. I want to know that how can I achieve this? Is it just use the DNS to map it or need to config our apache to work out this? I really urgent to know what can I do for it?
My ip address is not resolving to the domain name. I have checked etc/host reboot and all but it's not working. I can't seem to find where to post my issue then I found you and you are on line
Is it possible to have one static IP address with a NAT network forwarding each domain name to certain internal/DMZ IP addresses? I know you can do it by port but if both websites are on port 80 can you forward to the corresponding server on the dmz.I ask this because I noticed the website braemere.com.au had to be typed into a web browser and entering the IP which is 202.47.5.7 did not take me to the website.
I have a question for installing centos with domain and ip address.I want to install centos 5.3 at my server which is installed redhat 9.My question is how to sonfigure domain and ip.
So I'm looking to host potentialy three different...sites...I want to call them from the same machine. One is a radio station and the other 2 are just straight websites. So I wanted to know if I had to use different machines to accomplish this or can I alter maybe the http conf file or what. I did find this in the forums but wasn't quite sure if this applied to me.

I am trying to point my domain to my server with a static IP address. My domain is registered with Network Solutions and they ask "Primary and Secondary DNS" settings in their setup. What primary and secondary DNS settings I need to give when I have a dedicated server with static single IP address with BIND installed.
Location and syntax of named.conf in Ubuntu's version of BIND 9. I already have an HTTP server (in the form of Apache) along with forum software set up on my Acer netbook. However, the only way I can access the forum software is if I type in my IP address. How do I set up my named.conf to get the IP address to redirect to a domain? I already have my resolv.conf configured to allocate a domain to the IP address, but testing the ping of the site returns a "No such domain" error.
Is it possible to run two servers through one ip address? And I don't mean through apache to run virtual servers. Right now my set up is: Cable modem>router>server.
I have a multifunction printer that if I scan files I can save it to a shared directory. It's asking for a domain though, which I believe it's referring to a domain controller?
I was wondering if I could just take ubuntu standard edition and install samba and if I could create a domain using Samba? Or if that's not what I want?
I'm trying to figure out how to access the local part and the domain part of an email address in postfix's main.cf. For example, myname@mydomain.net has myname as the local part and mydomain.net as the domain part.I get the whole email address with %s. I want to speed up the lookups by writing better database queries.I've had no luck finding this in the otherwise well documented postfix.
I'm just getting familiar with my new VPS. I have webmin installed. I'd like to host more than 1 website on my server and I just can't figure out how to add a new domain (addon domain) to my server.
what is the best way of changing DNS Domain name in ubuntu 8.10? My server has bind installed and I can configure dns by webmin. I've all the configuration files under /etc/bind/.[URL]..
I have the lastest version of ubuntu server up and running along with a website shopping script working perfectly. Now I need to change the url in the address bar so that it stops displaying my ip address and shows instead my choice of domain name for whatever page has been opened. I have a number of domains available and each are redirecting traffic to my home server, but the address bar url alters to my ip address whichever I use. How then do I go about this change? Obviously this is to do with dns resolving stuff which I have no experience of. Can someone put down in as few steps as possible what I need to do?
I have a truly freakish thing happening here. First I'll start with a general map: Workstation A (10.10.0.100) - Ubuntu 10.10 joined to mydomain.local via likewise-open Workstation B (10.10.0.101) - Ubuntu 10.10 joined to mydomain.local via likewise-open Workstation C (10.10.0.102) - Ubuntu 10.10 NOT joined to any domain Server A (10.10.0.1) - Windows 2003 AD Server on mydomain.local Server B (10.20.0.1) - Ubuntu 10.10 joined to otherdomain.remote
As you can see I've successfully installed likewise and I've been able to get SUCCESS notifications from the join. I've been able to log in locally with a domain user and use a domain user password. I've also added a special Group in AD for linuxadmins and then added that to my /etc/sudoers file so I can sudo from a Domain Account. Great right? I'm slowly replacing Windows. But there's a hitch:
I can't SSH from machine to machine! but it's still not quite that simple. I can SSH from Workstation A to Workstation C as a Domain User. I can SSH(Putty) from Server A to Workstation A and B as a Domain User. I can SSH from Server B to Workstation C as an alternate Domain User. I can't SSH from Workstation A to Workstation B as a Domain User. I can SSH from Workstation A to Workstation B as a Local User. I can SSH from Workstation B to Workstation A as a Local User. I can't SSH from Workstation B to Workstation A as a Domain User.
Complicated enough for you? The simple version is that if it's joined to the domain I can't ssh into another machine that's also joined to the domain while I'm a domain user. But give me a local account and it's as if there's not problem. I tried looking through the logs to find something but wasn't about to find a "sshd" type log. Syslog was completely unhelpful as it doesn't really show anything for the time stamps of my connections. Where does one start troubleshooting this?
I thought it might be a groups thing like the sudoers file, but I don't have an ssh or sshd group. Oh and what does SSH do? What's the error it throws? Code: MYDOMAINdomainadmin@workstationa:/$ ssh mydomain\domainadmin@workstationB The authenticity of host 'WorkstationB (10.10.0.101)' can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is OB:SC:UR:ED:FR:OM:YO:UF:OR:PR:IV:AC:YR:EA:LL:Y!. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes Warning: Permanently added 'WorkstationB,10.10.0.101' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.
Here it waits for exactly 120 seconds and then... Code: Connection closed by 10.10.0.101 What can I do?
I set up a mailserver using this tutorial:[URL].. It works fine so far. I run this server for a small company with about 20 mailboxes where a address looks like that.[URL].. Now I want to set up an alias domain so that [URL].. also automatically is directed into the mailbox of "user".
