I have two websites, robertwittig.net and robertwittig.org. Both are registered on GoDaddy, and pointing to my in-house web server, supermicro.robertwittig.net (running Apache 1.3.29), and both have standard 'www' aliases in the A (or is it C) Record on GoDaddy. My public IP for the server is 70.142.248.61. This is on my modem/router, where it is permanently associated 1 to 1, with the private IP 192.168.1.10 (the supermicro server's IP). There is a PF firewall up on the server (it is OpenBSD 3.9), but it is fairly simple (I wrote all the rules myself, and the TCP rule for Port 80 permits all traffic in and out). Right now, everything works ok, with the default, unmodified httpd.conf file, so if you call either http://www.robertwittig.net/ or http://www.robertwittig.org/ you get exactly the same pages, from the same htdocs directory. I saved the default httpd.conf file for back-up, and, following the info at: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/vhosts/name-based.html (plus a few other various tutorials, which all said the same thing)... I went ahead and made exactly two changes to the httpd.conf file, adding: ------------------------------------ NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.10:80 ------------------------------------ ...and these... ------------------------------------ <VirtualHost 192.168.1.10:80> DocumentRoot /www/htdocs ServerName www.robertwittig.net </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost 192.168.1.10:80> DocumentRoot /www/dotorg ServerName www.robertwittig.org </VirtualHost> -------------------------------------- This did not work... after restarting Apache, neither website came up at all... Server Not Found. I tried with *:80 in place of 192.168.1.10:80 ...same result. When I tried 70.142.248.61:80 (the external IP, on the router), I got the robertwittig.net pages in /www/htdocs same as I did with the default httpd.conf, before I made any changes, for both robertwittig.net and robertwittig.org, and did not see the index.html file that I placed in /www/dotorg, when I tried to access robertwittig.org. I'm doing all my testing from another machine on my LAN, Red Hat Enterprise, which routes through the NAT and firewall on the router used for Desktop machines. I suspect that I am missing something obvious, but after a full day of reading, testing, etc., I figured it was time to start asking around, figuring that I am 'chess blind'... looking at the solution, and not 'seeing' it. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. -- -wittig http://www.robertwittig.com/ . http://robertwittig.net/ -- You are receiving this message as part of your subscription to the "ringzero" mailing list at freelists.org.
