I ended up using ddclient. I just grabbed the source from the mirror listed at dyndns.org. The original authors site wasn't up for me to grab the rpm, but the tar file contained the binary and simple install instructions. Now I must learn apache... I can't even find the httpd.conf to edit (I found httpd2.conf but it said you really shouldn't mess with it unless your a guru...) I'm sure I'll be back with questions on apache soon.

Re: [newbie] dyndns setup and apache
Jeff, Your URL from the outside is only http://bustedbox.homelinux.net . There is no www in front of it. Your site is working. If you want to be able to use both the bustedbox.homelinux.net and the www.bustedbox.homelinux.net names, you have to set up a ServerAlias in your httpd.conf file. For instance, if my "server host name" is fred.flinstone.homelinux.net , I would setup the server in apache to respond on port 80 to any of the following... ServerName www.flinstone.homelinux.net ServerAlias flinstone.homelinux.net ServerAlias fred.flinstone.homelinux.net That should help you get started. At 7:40 PM EST, http://bustedbox.homelinux.net/ was working. "Jeff's Information Tech Site". However, http://www.bustedbox.homelinux.net/ is not working.

go and download the latest ddclient there is an rpm you can download or a src rpm you can rebuild..

Re: [newbie] dyndns setup and apache
Take off the www and it does. I've only personally used dynu.com. They have several different scripts available to update your IP (there's a Bash, C, and who knows what else). There is a binary available for the C one, but it is a little out of date. You can compile your own, if it works. I wasn't ever able to get it to compile. But the binary is ok as long as you use a .com and not a .net address. I personally use the bash one...not much can go wrong there. :) Jay On Wednesday 02 April 2003 04:48 pm, cF wrote: > That address doesn't work for me. > > At 01:38 PM 02/04/2003 -0800, you wrote: > >Hello Everyone, > > I am attempting to setup a personal website from my > >SBC Ameritech/Yahoo internet connection.

As far as a Dyndns client, there are several for *nix machines on their server, you have to set up a cron job in most cases. In terms of a frontend for Apache, I am only aware of webmin, but I have not looked for others (Sourceforge?). It is available as an RPM on the Mandrake CDs or urpmi webmin.

Any way I have two questions: Is there any utility bundled with Mandrake 9.1 to update my dynamic ip with dyndns.org (it must get the address from the router). Also is there any gui tools for apache. I am reading the docs now, but I think it will be awhile before I fully grasp it. Yes I know it's a very insecure setup since I don't fully understand what I'm doing, but I must learn somehow. If someone could also check http://www.bustedbox.homelinux.net/ and let me know that it's not just being served in my lan I would also appreciate it. TIA __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
