Hi all, my first time on the forum. here goes.
I'm running an apache webserver on a fedora core 2 machine.
I don't actually own a domain, so I use a dynamic dns name (stasmayer.dynalias.com) from dyndns.org. I run an application called RunDNS to keep the ip updated whenever it changes.
I'm on a cable connection. Comcast to be more exact.
The machine is basically used for web development... for testing as well as a place for clients to see how their site is coming along, so its got the standard technologies running like mysql and php.
Further, I create a new username for each project to create its own user directory in /home/ and lastly, I use virtual hosts to create subdomains for each project I'm working on. Here's a snippet from my httpd.conf file...
Code:
ServerName devserver
NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.1xx
#default
<VirtualHost 192.168.1.1xx>
ServerName stasmayer.dynalias.com
DocumentRoot /path/to/files
</VirtualHost>
#project1
<VirtualHost 192.168.1.1xx>
ServerName project1.stasmayer.dynalias.com
ServerAlias project1
DocumentRoot /home/project1/public_html
</VirtualHost>
The server has been working fine for months. Main domain and subdomains fully accessible. Today, this morning, I noticed the subdomains were not accessible. I get an
Address Not Found Error. The top domain works fine. Internet is running beautifully on all machines in the house including the server.
I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it, but last night, my internet dropped and I had to reset the cable modem.
I'm wondering if its a DNS issue. Should I have a DNS server running on my computer? I realize that doesn't make sense because the thing has been running fine for months. Anywho, error logs don't produce anything either.
Anyone, help! I really have no clue what is going on! Thanks in advance.
