Sorry stuntshell about dropping into a thread like that but this is the only place where there is somebody having the same problem. I looked into many other places and I didn't find a solution.
I am using the server as server&gateway
I have another server somewhere else and I have the same problem. So this time I decided to solve the problem.
That other server is also using dyndns for another domain than the Primary and it is using both domains name in the same account at dyndns.
Last night, I aslo thought that is was because there were 2 domains under the same account at dyndns so I had a friend to create another account at dyndns so I can try with only 1 domain by account. I have the same problem. So I don't think it is because of the 2 domains under the same account.
I am not at the location of that server. I worked from home.
I ssh to the remote server and I can locally ping both (
www.domain2.dyndns.org) and (domain2.dyndns.org). So the server should be OK.
From home I can ping (domain2.dyndns.org) but not (
www.domain2.dyndns.org):
unknown host www.domain2.dyndns.org . So it looks like dyndns.org has something wrong but it is working for the Primary and not for the second domain. Both are configured the same standard way.
In httpd.conf:
<VirtualHost 0.0.0.0:80>
ServerName
www.domain2.dyndns.org ServerAlias domain2.dyndns.org toto.domain2.dyndns.org
DocumentRoot /home/e-smith/files/ibays/dom2/html
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin /home/e-smith/files/ibays/dom2/cgi-bin
Alias /files /home/e-smith/files/ibays/dom2/files
Everything looks good both at dyndns.org and at the server. There is something I am missing.
If I cannot find something then I will try to do my own dns server but this is quite something and I would like to solve my problem until I can do my own dns server.
Again I am sorry to drop in like that but as I wrote above it is the only place I found with the exact same problem. If this is a problem or an inpoliteness, please tell me and I will not post again.
