Ubuntu Servers :: Set The Server To Hold The Domain From A Dynamic Ip Address?
Sep 25, 2010
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 need to obtain daily dynamic IP address from my router for remote user. In order to get into the router page, I need to login to it with ID and password.
Can I tell the server to do this every time it started up to login to router and extract the ip address and send out via email?
The router can only access through web interface and below is what I copied from browser.
got a VPS and for testing purposes a homeserver with apache running. what two tools would i need to redirect my static ip to my dynamic one?
the traffic shall all go through the dynamic one. i've got a domain name registered with the VPS also. nameservers are configured.
is there any setup required on my local (dynamic ip) apache settings for using the name? and if i stop the service, will it still work? do i have to setup a webserver on the VPS for it? none running yet.
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]
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 running my own Postfix mail server. Some time ago I noticed that most email was rejected because of the server's dynamic IP address. So I got a fixed IP address. However then I noticed that some mails got rejected due to failing the reverse DNS check. So my ISP told me to get a range of IP addresses and they could then create a PTR record for one of those addresses. That is now running but it turns out that the IP address used for the PTR record is a ... dynamic IP address. So Spamhaus PBL rejects my emails again.
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?
I would like to configure the eth0 manually. I can configure the ip address and sub-netmask but the system can't hold my gateway ip address (I added). It will keep it 0.0.0.0. I have no problem when I getting IP address from DHCP server.
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 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.
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.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 and my setup is as follows:
As you can see, I am directly connected to router 192.168.25.1, and so my ip address is 192.168.25.101. I want my ip address to be 192.168.13.101, and make router 192.168.13.1 my gateway router. Is this possible under the current physical layout (I do not want to have to connect directly into 192.168.13.1, but keep my computer where it is at)?
When I run tracepath, it shows 192.168.13.1 is one hop away.
What I've tried:
The problem is under this manual setup, I cannot ping 192.168.13.1 and running command netstat -rn returns the following:
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 want to set up an email server both to receive and send emails. I also am on a dynamic ip scheme with my ISP. I do have a dynamic dns account with no-ip.org the Questions are:
-will somebody be able to send emails to me at the <user>@<dyndns_name>.no-ip.org email address?
-will I be able to send emails from the <user>@<dyndns_name>.no-ip.org email address?
I know i'll be able to login to accounts like gmail and yahoo and download emails from there.. but even that i don't know - even macroscopically how its done:
-is it the sendmail deamon that accepts the mail from <me>@gmail.com, <me>@yahoo.com, <me>@<dyndns_name>.no-ip.org?
-is it the sendmail deamon that does the sending of email (as well)?
-can it push emails that I want to send as <me>@gmail.com to the gmail smtp servers (and they in turn will push my email even further)?
-can it push emails from <me>@<dyndns_name>.no-ip.org to receipients? and finally,
-WILL receiving pop/imap servers allow incoming email from my server? or due to the dynamic ip they'll assume I'm a spam server?
I want to configure a VPN over the Internet.I installed the 'openvpn' package, generated the key file, transfered it by a secure way to the client, and setted up the configuration file.
So, in that configuration file I input the IP addresses of the tunneled interfaces. Both IPs are static in the tunnel.
Then, I've heard somewhere that I can assign a dynamic configuration IP for the client. I do this registering a range.
Well, when I tried to change static IP to dynamic IP (changing '192.168.0.2' to '192.168.0.0/24') in the configuration file, the OpenVPN didn't work.
Obviously I don't know what I'm doing, and I really, don't believe that simply changing the IP will make it work, but I tried.
I hope I explained my problem as well.
My configuration file:
# OpenVPN Server Configuration File dev tun 0 ifconfig 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.2 cd /etc/openvpn secret key_file
In client I execute the 'openvpn' without the '--daemon' parameter.Then I want that my client uses a IP in a range (192.168.0.0/24, for example), instead of a static IP (192.168.0.2).I also thought to use a DHCP server, but I'm not sure that will work.
We have Verizon as our ISP with a dynamic IP address. We published our website but the IP changes frequently. How can we set Network address translator(NAT) so our website can be published regardless of IP changes? We don't have domain name and have no intention for one.
I'd like to implement a dynamic menu which will allow me to specify an IP address and read it into memory. This is what I've got so far (it's fairly basic...)
Code: IPS=`ifconfig -a | grep 'inet addr:' | awk '{print $2}' | tr -d "addr:"` PS3='Select an option and press Enter: ' select i in $IPS do case $i in $i) echo $IPS;; esac done echo $IPS
At the moment it just says "Which IP would you like to use" and then freezes, most success I've had is it showing all the IP's listed in ifconfig and then showing the same menu.
Is there some kind of Ubuntu desktop application that notifies you when your WAN ip address has changed? I don't care about my LAN ip address. I need some kind of popup on the desktop when my ISP assigns the next dynamic WAN ip address.
I have been designing websites for many years and because of the limitations of shared hosting, not to mention the HUGE costs of dedicated servers, I decided to host a couple of my sites from home. I've got a great setup and fast UL/DL speeds with ym provider. I have created 2 CentOS 5.5 servers and have them on 2 seperate dedicated IP addresses. My hosting company (inmotionhosting.com, because I love them) has gone ahead and changed the zones on a couple of my domains to point to one of my servers. It works great.
The reason I decided to host my own is for 2 reasons. One of my clients who markets with email uses a TON of my bandwidth. I now host the images at home and it keeps me well within my limits with my host. The 2nd reason is for functionality. Shared hosting doesn't allow for software upgrades and I tried the VPS, but the plan I could afford didn't offer enough for me. I figured that if I could build my own server, I can install whatever software I want on it. I own a couple of very popular sites that allow people to post their resumes, photos, video and audio. It's for Actors. Now the site automates all of the editing and processing on it's own which is awesome. However...all of that processing is draining the server. I decided to build a second one and now that one is on another IP address at home.
Using both of my servers (let's say "svr1" and "svr2"), how can I use the new one to just process the images, video and so on? For example; A user uploads their high-res photos through a script on a page at "svr1". I then want to send that photo over to "svr2" for processing, and then return the edited photos back over to the users folder on "svr1". I've got the site designed and all of the scripts, so that's not part of my question. I just want to know how to move files between the 2 servers automatically.
I have set up 10.04 server, got userdir working (/home/username/public_html) so I can access it with h ttp://myipaddress/~username. What do I need to do to get mydomain.com to point to http://myipaddress/~username?
I've got a home server running Ubuntu Server 9.04 and several machines running Ubuntu Desktop (9.04 and 8.04) and Windows (XP, Vista and 7). Now what I want to do is to create a domain and directory server similar in function to Windows Server w/ AD and join my other machines to the domain, but am not sure where to start. I already have file shares with Samba but now I want to setup a domain.
After upgrading my server from 10.04 to 10.10 I keep getting the following php error, "PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/syck.so' - /usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/syck.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0"
I'm wondering if it's possible to operate a Web Server 'without' registering a domain name, using an IP address alone.I currently have Apache & Tomcat running on one of my workstations. I am currently using these servers as development sandboxes; and I have P2P Search Engine 'YaCy' running under Apache, which is accessible from the outside to the entire P2P network.
Since my Apache server is accessible from the outside, I was thinking that I might setup one of my other workstations as a server with just my 'external' IP address & port number as a way of reaching my site, i.e. http:// 255.183.47.201:8090/. I can't see any reason why this wouldn't be possible. I seem to remember several of my former companies doing this on their corporate Intranets. Also, I wouldn't be locked into registering a domain name every year; and I wouldn't have to worry about any content restrictions. If my intended audience knows where to find me; I can't see any reason why this wouldn't work. And, I don't see why my site couldn't be indexed by search-engines. The only caveat I can think of is making sure I have enough bandwidth from my ISP to support the anticipated traffic.If this will work, I assume I can setup a regular website, an online store, podcast, or provide any other type of tradional web-service this way.
I'm with Linux 2.6.32-25-server #44-Ubuntu SMP Fri Sep 17 21:13:39 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux , Ubuntu 10.04 Server And I wanna execute the next script in bash profile code...
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 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.
I have a server on my router on the DMZ. All outside traffic goes to it. This server has Apache running and the domain mysite.com resolves to the the DMZ web server. I have a second server on the LAN that also has apache running. I want to set up another domain, myothersite.com to resolve to the second server on the LAN. Since the main server is on DMZ I have the DNS A records for myothersite.com pointing to the public IP that the DMZ is on.
How do I get myothersite.com to resolve to the second webserver on the LAN? What configuration do I need to do on my DMZ server so it routes traffic for myothersite.com to the other server on teh LAN? Do I use BIND DNS? If so please advise on how to set that up. BIND DNS seems confusing and I having trouble knowing how to configuring it. Is there another option besides BIND?
