Ubuntu Servers :: Unable To Resolve Host URL - Domain Setup / Home Based Web Server
Jan 18, 2011
I have setup a home based web server to host a photo blog for myself and my friends. I will be running wordpress and possibly a phpbb3 forum. I'd like to open this to discuss server administration, server setup, and server maintenance. However, I have a pretty good start on all of those but serving a domain name to my static ip. Here my static ip is 24.10.202.144. I registered a domain through [URL]... It appears that I have the domain working to forward to my ip. However, I am still getting this output file from apache.
[code]...
I have tested the domain name across a few different computers on different ips. It works appropriately. I just want to make sure I have it set correctly on the (apache) server side of things. Then I can get more into Zone Editing etc.

Whenever I try to use the sudo command in the terminal I get the message unable to resolve host, then my computer name. Here's some command line output with some files which I think may be causing the problem. I have Operating Systems homework and need sudo
steve@steve-laptop:~$ sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf
sudo: unable to resolve host steve-laptop
steve@steve-laptop:~$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by NetworkManager
domain domain_not_set.invalid
search domain_not_set.invalid
nameserver 68.237.161.12

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 just built out an Ubuntu Server 10.04.
My problem is setting the hostname. I cloned the machine, then normally on the clone, I would change the /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts file.
However, when I do this, upon restart, I get the message, "init hostname main process (some process number) terminated with status 1"Then, when the machine finally boots, the hostname is set to (none). Literally has braces like: user@(none):
I've tried: sudo hostname machine_name but it says can't resolve hostname (none).
I've Google'd around a lot but can't get it. It may have something to do with 10.04? I have been using 9.04, 9.10 with no problems.
eric@(none):~$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface

1) My Internet connection is COMCAST with a router box and one public IP address.2) My web server is Apache using 10.1.10.200 as its address.3) Now I want to add another host name (www.myhealth.com) on my server. I did DNS forwardin (with Godaddy) to my COMCAST static IP address.4) I also added (in my httpd.conf) a block for virtual hosting

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!)

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.

I ended up setting up a basic linux file server as a pdc for that office. Our main office is a windows 2000 ads domain. The two offices are connected with a vpn. I only have two users at the new location so I simply have the linux and samba usernames/passwords setup manually. I would like to know if it is possible to setup a domain trust between the two sites so I don't have to create a username/password in the remote site for every user at the main office to access. I did some searching but came up empty.

I am using CentOS 5.5 and have installed PowerDNS with MySQL backend. I have Apache and PHP installed and I'm using PowerAdmin to create the master zone.I have tried to configure the zone to resolve my domain name and I have had no success.I've googled and read tutorials and have tried suggested methods, but it's still not working.This is a new adventure for me and I would like to be able to host a site from my home for experimental purposes. I am a mature (read OLD) student enrolled in Networking and have done some units in Web Design (though I'm not very good at it).

I am moving some websites from a shared host to a newly configured Xen based VPS with Ubuntu 10.04. A steep learning curve but I am getting there! I have a couple of sites installed on the new server and want to test them out, from what I understand I should be able to edit /etc/hosts on my desktop computer (running Ubuntu 10.04) which should automatically redirect my browser to the new server. But it doesn't seem to work.
This is what I appended to the /etc/hosts file:
12.34.56.78 www.xxxx.com
I thought that this should send any requests for www.xxxx.com to 12.34.56.78? Some googling indicated that the browsers I am using may be using DNS caching, ignoring the hosts file. I've tried clearing the cache with Chromium 7.0.517.44 (64615) and Firefox 3.6.12, and even installed a plugin in Firefox to block DNS caching.

No idea whats going on here I host a couple of domains. Recently I changed ISP and had a change of IP address. I changed my zone files to the new address and updated my nameservers to the ones given by the new ISP and now, my main domain wont work, I can however, receive mail, checking using DNS quick check works and other domains are fine. I'm using OPENSUSE 11

I am having a problem with Ubuntu 10.04. I was setting up network sharing with Samba. Set up went fine, then I decided to change the hostname.
Following instructions I found on the web, I edited etc/samba/samba.conf to reflect my desired hostname.
Now I have to use superuser to run synaptic or update center. I don't know what else I have "broken".
I would like to change my hostname, if I did it incorrectly for 10.04 please enlighten me.

I have a small problem (with a possible solution), but I'm interested in your opinion/experience if you would do it similar or if you probably know better/easier tools to achieve this.The problem: I have a single server (gateway) and two virtual machines. Each virtual machine has a separate private IP address and runs a web-server, while each web server should service a distinct web domain, say domain1.net and domain2.net. The gateway server uses iptables rules to forward tcp packets to the appropriate virtual machine, e.g. based on the destination port number. Now, since I want the users of the web domains to NOT use a port different than 80, I am looking for some kind of HTTP dispatching based on the domain requested by the user,domain1.net:80 should be forwarded to VM1 and domain2.net:80 should be forwarded to VM2.
I think there are a few solutions to this problem:(1) consolidate to one VM, put both domains on the same web server and use e.g. apaches virtual host functionality -> right, but want to keep the two virtual machines ;-)(2) add the mod_rewrite plugin to one of the web servers and configure it to do the rewriting -> haven't yet tested it, but could work(3) put a proxy server (though SQUID) onto the gateway server and use the rewrite functionality of SQUID to redirect the packets to the appropriate virtual machineMy favorite solution is #3, but I am very interested in your experiences with similar problems or how you would solve this before I start diving into SQUID

I am a complete newbie at web servers, so I installed Ubuntu Server and have a LAMP set up. I have gotten dynamic DNS to link to my domain, and that seems to be working. My domain is 6py7.com. If I try to access my domain from within my home network it links me to my router's main page (192.168.2.1). I have my server set up with a static ip at 192.168.2.100 and have port forwarding set up.
Is there something I missed with the setup of this? I can only access my domain if I use a network outside of my home network, but if I am within my home network the domain name links to the router.

I'm trying to troubleshoot some strange networking problems. The pattern seems to be that only newer distributions are affected. CentOS 5.4 and Ubuntu 8.04 work fine out-of-the-box. But Arch, Sidux, AntiX, Fedora, etc. show the same pattern of errors.Certain websites cannot be found unless I disable ipv6 in Firefox. And certain addresses cannot be resolved using various terminal commands (wget, apt-get, yum, etc.). What I would ideally like is a permanent solution, perhaps changing some settings on my router, so that I don't have to deal with this each time I test-drive a new distro. I have a hunch the issue has something to do with my DSL provider (Fairpoint) filing for bankruptcy.
One more piece of information that may or may not be relevant: I recently switched a website from one hosting company to another. I noticed there was a delay of several days where I saw the old version at the old host, but viewing the site at a friend's house or the coffee shop showed the new site on the new host. This leads me to suspect DNS issues perhaps, but this is not an area of expertise.

i have hosted three websites on a computer at home on debian. i use ServerName directive for each site to map it to the desired dir. For example there are kdelchev.com and webtut.org on the same IP(95.111.108.148).
When i try to open any of my sites eg. kdelchev.com with my pocket pc (Asus P535) it displays carstatistics.eu, instead the site i want. Is that an apache misconfiguration? And what have to change to make it working?

You are running tftpd as an on demand server i.e. it is only fired up when it is needed. Services run by xinetd are always run on demand. Have you actually tested if tftp on another system can access your PC i.e.
Code:
tftp your_pc_ip_address
