network problem

[verenae]

Hi guys and gals of course

i have installe dplesk panel on my debian server (debian leny 64 bit)

All is ok so far bar one majour problem

cannot view my domain name, cannot accses the controle panel out side of my local server ip wich is 192.168.2.8

it has been confirmed the panel is working and the domains ar eup and running everyone bar me can see the above.

the server is hosted at my home on my broadband connection, wich is fine for soem small sites.

This has been driving me mad.

i would love any sugestions or ideas please

i went into ssh and did the following command ifconfig -a
the out put of that is below

server1:~# ifconfig -a
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:30:1b:bd:10:dc
inet addr:192.168.2.8 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

This part caught my attention

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:30:1b:bd:10:dc
inet addr:192.168.2.8 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

should Bcast:192.168.2.255 not be Bcast:192.168.2.0

since my router does not broadcast that mine starts from 0-100

any help woudl be great.
thank you

I can see your Plesk login page with https://78.33.106.201:8443 address. But mentioned IP 192.168.2.8 is your internal network IP address and can't be accessible from internet.

hi there thank you for the reply.

i beleive the problem im haivng is a firewall problem, ie because i on the same network, i need to set up a rule to alow me to vew port 80 via 192.168.2.8:80

this can be the only thing i can think of.

In other words becuase im on the lan i do not have permision to view apche output via my lan.

so is it a iptables problem, any idea how to fix this

Thank you

several days and still no fix for my server, now no response from tech support.

I have done some reading, (since i cant do anything else atm) it apears my problems ar due to the fact that apache is not serving pages for internal pcs on the lan, but its working fine externaly.

various people have siad to look at iptables some have said its apache itself you need to edit the configuration files to alow apache to serve pages to local machines. i have no idea on how to do this could a kind soul help out a lady in distress.

Thank you

Hi i have reproduced the problem again. i have formatted my server with a base install of debian leny(64bit)

To help both me and you guys trying to understand my problems here is the exact steps i took to install plesk to make sure its not something i have done incorect.


i have installed the debian dvd into drive ect installed the standard setup, put in the passwords it asked for created the accoutn it asked for then the pass words.

installed a ssh server

apt-get install ssh openssh-server

im new to linux so i use vim so i installed that

apt-get install vim-nox

next i configured the network

vi /etc/network/interfaces

deleting all that was in there and replacing it with

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
#allow-hotplug eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.2.8
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.2.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
gateway 192.168.2.1

i then restarted the network

/etc/init.d/networking restart

now the next part i have tried both editing this and not editing, still same results

vi /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.2.8 server1.skull-and-bonez.com server1
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

once i done that i installed plesk

wget http://download1.parallels.com/Ples...er_v3.6.0_build100407.15_os_Debian_5.0_x86_64

then i

chmod +x parallels_installer_v3.6.0_build100407.15_os_Debian_5.0_x86_64

then it was time to run the instaltion

./parallels_installer_v3.6.0_build100407.15_os_Debian_5.0_x86_64

i did the standard setup, once finished

logged in ect did the first steps,

Same old probelms still only able to acses the controle panel via https://192.168.2.8:8443/ as apppsed to been able to use https://myip::8443/ or https://domainname:8443/

This sucks guys realy bad, the support is erm "i dont know what is wrong,it has to be your fualt" im now paying for a control panal i cannot use properly

Doing the above i have tried not doing steps above just doing a very bare install same results, if i am doing something incorect please tell me.

Thank you

Broadband and Plesk from home

If you are using Plesk on your own Linux based server with Plesk for Linux this is great! Welcome to the club. But if you are doing it from home be prepared for a difficult task if you do not know how to NAT your own broadband router.

The definition of NAT tables can be found on wikipedia, or your broadband modem provider. NOT your broadband provider but your modem provider. I.E. Cisco, Netgear etc. Download the maunal and read about NAT tables. You need to know which ports to have open and which to have closed. You also need to know how to map an internal i.p. to an external i.p address.

Good Luck and may the Tux be with you
