apache2/DNS issues

cycocool · 07-16-2012, 05:05 PM

ok, so i have a .com domain that is parked, and i have installed apache2 and at the parked domain registrar control panel i have created a cname record pointing at my dyndns url xxxxxxxxx.homelinux.com, with ddclient installed and running. bottomline is i can open up firefox and enter http://darkstar.cycocool.com and it comes up but only for me, i've asked a number of ppl to try browsing to that url but it doesnt work, so basically i think it may just be running locally as it will also come up with my internal ip address, how can i make it so that it is a global site? or indeed whatever the case is!

From the looks of it...

Code:

christian-imac:~ chrish$ nslookup darkstar.cycocool.com 
Server:		192.168.2.112
Address:	192.168.2.112#53

Non-authoritative answer:
darkstar.cycocool.com	canonical name = cycocool.homelinux.com.
Name:	cycocool.homelinux.com
Address: 192.168.1.10

It seems like the DNS is pointed to an "internal only" address.

Change the DNS to point to the external IP address

Where is the DNS being hosted? Is it a DNS server you can access or is it a service like GoDaddy?

--C

i'm using ddclient, which has the external IP assigned to it
