I've attempted to set up a test binding through IIS to localtest.me, but it's not resolving to my local IP address. My understanding of localtest.me is that it should resolve automatically. In Chrome is get the error message:
blog-test.localtest.me’s server IP address could not be found.
And when pinging blog-test.localtest.me I get the following error:
Ping request could not find host blog-test.localtest.me. Please check the name and try again.
In IIS I have a site that's bound to blog-test.localtest.me with the following settings:
Everything I've read online advises that localtest.me should resolve automatically? Is this the case or is there setup step I'm missing?
You can simply add this entry in your host file locally, and it will work.
On windows machine - C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
On *nix machine - /etc/hosts
It sounds like you didn't register the domain in either DNS or hosts file.
1.So if you are in an AD environment, please add a CNAME blog-test.localtest.me in your local DNS Forward lookup zone.
2.If you are going to access the website from public domain, then please purchase the domian from domain provider and point it to Server's public IP.
3.If you just want to access the website locally, please add the domain to hosts file.
The hosts record would looks like:
127.0.0.1 blog-test.localtest.me

I'm trying to deploy a JS app (back in nodejs, front in reactjs) on a hosting server. I've dockerized everything (back, front and database) and everything works well, I can access my app through the IP address of the server.
Now I'm trying to setup a domain name to point to my app.
I've a Invalid Host header when I try to access from domain name (while still working accessing through server's IP address).
I've tried to add a HOST:mydomain.com to the .env of my reactjs app but I got this error Could not find an open port at mydomain.com
Would love if someone can help me through this :)
Given app works by IP, you can leave config of app as is. Do not add HOST or any other config.
IP to name mapping is done using DNS. So made DNS registration in DNS zone like this
mydomain.com A <IP address of app>
Where A is DNS entry type. Or made request to provider to register A entry type for you.
For testing purposes you may do mapping on any Windows PS using hosts file C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts where mapping is done by
<IP address of app> mydomain.com
hosts works on one PC only.
After adding to hosts or to DNS try ping mydomain.com to make sure that name is resolved to correct IP address.
Mapping on web server is done when one web server hosts several different sites on one IP. But when you use Docker it's best to have one Docker container for one service.
I registered domain on the WHM and create a new user cpanel with the domain, the domain is added to the cpanel. But when i try to browse the domain name it getting server DNS address could not be found.i updated the name servers with my server name, but nothing changed.
when i try to go through myip/~newuser it going fine to the site file, but with the domain name it's not.
You have a DNS issue in this case. Please check your DNS zone with a tool like intoDns:
https://intodns.com/yourdomain.tld
See if you get any errors there. If you do, then you have issues with your DNS configuration. Be sure that you have create the parent DNS servers for your domain if you want to use the DNS from WHM (the parent DNS servers should point to your WHM server ip).
Try using external services to query your DNS server to see if it actually works (like MXToolBox etc). Or you can use nslookup or dig right from your WHM server by connecting via ssh.
I installed gitlab_7.3.2-omnibus-1_amd64 on Ubuntu 14.04.1.
I defined a domain name for gitlab and it works well. However, gitlab is still accessible over server's ip address. I want gitlab to be only accessible via domain name, not server's ip. Can you help me?
Thank you.
You can't do it. Domain name resolves to IP on domain server, you always access server over IP.
i bought a domain at networksolutions and try to forward dns to my vps, the problem is, its not forward when i try to open page, ie gave me that error.
i also use the plesk panel
ERROR
The requested URL could not be retrieved
The following error was encountered while trying to retrieve the URL:
http://ertugoto.com/
Unable to determine IP address from host name ertugoto.com
The DNS server returned:
Server Failure: The name server was unable to process this query. This
means that the system was not able to resolve the hostname presented
in the URL. Check if the address is correct.
It appears that you do not have DNS name servers configured for that domain. At least the DNS roots do not know about them. You will need to work with network solutions to have them add glue records for your name servers, or if they are hosting the DNS for you then you need to add the NS records etc for your domain.
I have a mail server running on a linux server.
Internally, I can access it via https://192.168.0.253/webaccess and externally I can access it via https://webmail.mydomain.com/webaccess
I'd like to be able to access webmail.mydomain.com internally, the problem is that a DNS lookup to this address goes to the public IP of our network and from within, that won't work.
I have bind9 installed on our linux server (internal) and can use that for DNS lookups - that server is my primary DNS address. Could anyone please describe how I can configure bind to resolve webmail.mydomain.com to 192.168.0.253?
Configure Bind to use a different view for the internal users; see http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-unix-bind9-named-configure-views/
in /etc/hosts (or equivalent for the OS) on the client you can set webmail.mydomain.com to 192.168.0.253, as the hosts file is checked before any DNS servers.
