Topic: Not Working: First Apache Webpage From Home Using ddclient

[karentutor]

Hi

I am trying to put up my first simple index.html webpage using Apache to www.eloorn.com to point to my home server.

But it is not working.

My home IP is not fixed, so I am trying to use ddclient and the PremiumDNS service of namecheap.com (
https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/9654/2231/what-is-premiumdns )

I have followed the following steps:

Renamed my name servers with my name registrar.

I have installed apache, ddclient, on a Fedora25 distro and followed the following steps from Namecheap

(per: https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/36/11/how-do-i-start-using-dynamic-dns)

Enable Dynamic DNS for the domain;
Create an A record for the hostname;
Download any Dynamic DNS client of your choice;
Enter your configuration details and run the Dynamic DNS client.

I then followed the the following instructions:
on setting up a website with SELinux
http://www.serverlab.ca/tutorials/linux/web-servers-linux/configuring-selinux-policies-for-apache-web-servers/

However, it is not working.



I would like to troubleshoot and see if I can track down the source of the problem but I am unsure of where to start.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!
Karen

Hi Karen,
can you reach your apache using the IP? If you use a router did you configure portforwarting?
