Publishing a local website using NO-IP (free service) in CentOS
 
Hello all!
I have a question, I hope you can help me with this.
I've just registered with NO-IP (free account), created a host, installed the client (in CentOS) and I want to see a website I'm running locally in that computer from another computer (via internet :). How do I access it?

My host is "customtrack.no-ip.org "
And in that unix box I've got a published website that I can access from any browser in the following URL: "http://localhost:8114/SATrack/wiki"

When I log in to from the browser from another computer I get the following error message:


Quote:
The connection was reset- The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
How do I tell CentOS that I want to redirect that site I'm hosting locally "http://localhost:8114/SATrack/wiki" to "customtrack.no-ip.org"? I believe that's not done automatically. How do I configure the redirection?

I've spent a long time reading NO-IP documentation and I cannot find the answer to what I need.

Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Martin

I used to self-host with no-ip--did it for three years.

Is the no-ip application running on the webserver and can you hit the server from the internet?

Can you hit the server from another local computer by browsing to .http:.[local ip address]. That ought to bring up the website. (I put the periods in the address to try to keep LQ from automatically wrapping my phony ip address in URL tags.)
