[SOLVED] installing dyndns.org on virutalbox's guest

windstory · 08-19-2009, 12:09 AM

My box is centos 5.3 x86 and host is windows 7 x64.

For installing my-server.dyndns.org on centos, I tried this steps.

1. set local area's ip dynamic. get 192.168.0.3
2. set centos's eth0's ip dynamic. get 192.168.0.14
3. router's dmz to 192.168.0.14 of centos
4. install ddclient on centos
5. install and run xampp for linux 1.7.2
6. test

(1) at windows as host
ping 192.168.0.14 - good
browse http://192.168.0.14 - good
browse http://my-server.dyndns.org - failed
(2) at centos ad guest
ping 192.168.0.14 - good
ping 192.168.0.3 - good
browse http://192.168.0.14 - good
browse http://my-server.dyndns.org - failed
(3) ddclient.conf is here

Code:

## ddclient configuration file
daemon=600                  # check every 600 seconds
syslog=yes                  # log update msgs to syslog
pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid   # record PID in file.

## Detect IP with our CheckIP server
use=web, web=checkip.dyndns.com/, web-skip='IP Address'

## DynDNS username and password here
login=my-id
password=my PASSWORD

## Default options
protocol=dyndns2
server=members.dyndns.org

## Dynamic DNS hosts
my-server.dyndns.org

Please help for resolving this problem.

Did you provide time for propogation, and also if you are not using a public IP address with DynDNS why use it? YOu could run bind locally.

scheidel21/ Thank you for your kind reply.

About your comment - "YOu could run bind locally", as far as I understand correctly, I already followd "http://www.howtoforge.com/fedora_dynamic_dns".

About your question - "if you are not using a public IP address with DynDNS why use it", when I started to learn php, I followed certain guide. From that time, it' my default setting. But after setting this, I can make ftp and can do somthings.

About "propegation", I'm very sorry that it's not listd on my English dictionary, so I could not understand what you mean.

That's probably because both of you misspelled the word: it's not "propogation" or "propegation", but "propagation".

I've linked the correct spelling to the Wiktionary.

I try to check my spelling, but it never occurred to me 'til now the effect bad spelling could have on non-native readers.

I think it is how you select the adapter. Try bridged maybe. Some choice works as I recall.

Yep, I found mis-configured my router, and I fixed it.

Thanks for your cocerning for this problem.
