September 22, 2005, 09:47:43 PM Last Edit: September 22, 2005, 09:51:07 PM by Sidoh
Okay, I just bought www.sidoh.org and I'm wanting to run it off of my server.

I found a few tutorials and things on setting up DNS zone files, but I figured just posting here would be easier, since iago has obviously already done it!

Can anyone help me out here?  :)

Edit:  Oh yeah, might as well post the tutorial (more of a checklist, really) that I found.  It seems pretty straightforward, but it lacks a lot of detail.  I found some more specific ones one just setting up DNS zone files, but they were kind of confusing.

iago was going to give me the runthrough about this, it has to do with establishing some files which allow you to use dynamic dns via no-ip.org

Actually, I think I may have found an easy way around this.

However, I'd still appreciate help on setting this up the right way if you would, iago.  :P

I set it up once, at work.  I don't really remember how, except that I enabled /etc/rc.bind and edited /etc/bind.conf or something like that. 

x86labs.org and javaop.com are run as pointers to a dnsalias.com addess, and they're looked after at the other end, not by me.  Because of my dynamic ip, I can't run my own nameserver.

That's what I was trying to explain, that's what Sidoh and myself both want to do. Please explain in more detail please.

It's pretty idiot proof. 

Actually, no-ip.com is easier.  You make an account, download their client, configure and run it.  Make sure it runs on boot.  It'll keep your ip up-to-date automatically. 

dyndns was more difficult.  I had to customize the client with a shellscript to get it to do what I needed.

My Linux box already runs the no-ip client, but I figured since you recommended dyndns that it was better :p

Works!

Thanks, iago.  you get to help me set up the update client later!  <3 :-*

I stopped using no-ip because it stopped working for me.  My client was broken or something.  And my router supported dyndns out of the box, automatically, so I did that.  Now, however, my router that supports it is internal, so my dns would always end up pointng to 192.168.something.  So I installed the DynDns client, which was a royal pain, and now it works.

Now it looks like it's relatively easy.  I found the client on their website and used wget over SSH to download it to my server.  I need to extract/install it now, but we'll see.  :)

They had 2 clients, when I tried, and neither worked right.  One of them would work kinda, but the scheduling didn't, so I had to write my own script to update every minute.

Mind giving me your script?  :-*
