I think I got Apache setup right on my RH8 server. I just need someone try to connect to my test page. My ip is 65.69.88.208.....Thanks.....

worked for me...

cool thanks....I will try to get ddclient to work on dyndns.org with custom domain name now. You don't happen to have any suggestions on ddclient and dyndns.org do you????

there's also http://www.no-ip.com/ which alot seem to use as well.. for dynamic ip web hosting..
Not sure of any others, as I haven't messed with them ever.

happen to have any suggestions on ddclient and dyndns.org do you????

Im using dyndns.org and ddclient. Works great. Ddclient usually sends me an "update success" message within a few minutes of connecting. If you have more that one machine (a home network) then enable wildcard support, that way youll be able to set host names like mymachine1.mydomain.ath.cx and mymachine2.mydomain.ath.cx.

m0rl0ck, could you tell me what I'm doing wrong on my ddclient.conf file?

daemon=300
syslog=yes
mail=root
mail-failure=root
pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid
use=if, if=ppp0
protocol=dyndns2
server=members.dyndns.org
login=my account with dyndns.org
password=my password
custom=yes
server=members.dyndns.org
protocol=dyndns2
www.cojo-online.com.top-level

It failed everytime I tried to start ddclient. Somehow, it's trying to send the updates to orgdns.org instead of dyndns.org. I'm totally lost.

Currently, I updates my IP manually with dyndns.org

daemon=300 # check every 300 seconds
syslog=yes # log update msgs to syslog
pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid # record PID in file.


use=if, if=ppp0 # via interfaces


login=mylogin # my login name
password=mypass # my passwd
backupmx=no # host is primary MX?
wildcard=yes # add wildcard CNAME?

##
## dyndns.org dynamic addresses
##
## (supports variables: wildcard,mx,backupmx)
##
server=members.dyndns.org, \
protocol=dyndns2 \
myhost.ath.cx



These are the only variables i have set in my ddclient.conf. And the above is the order in which they appear. Are you sending the correct login name and passwd in :

login=mylogin # my login name
password=mypass # my passwd


Do you have the \ 's in your configuration file? If you dont have them that could be a problem thay are there to escape return characters. If they arent there then the lines that were joined by them have to be on one line.
