Bumping your thread will mean you waiting longer to get a reply as our helpers will look for threads with 0 replies first, also bumping your thread is considered rude and bad forum etiquette. Please wait and someone will be with you.

I am unable to help here as I do not know alot about web development/servers etc... however if you do not get a reply within 3 days of posting your orignal topic please feel free to post it in the waiting room which is here

Regards

Does your ISP block port 80?

From your OS list: "soon server loaded with Debian with wine"

Do you know that a Debian server edition does not have a GUI?

no my isp does not block port 80, and my OS list is out of date because debian would never work right for me. I used ubuntu server instead and installed a gui on it long enough to learn it. and im still doing this on a windows machine.

So you are still having two issues?

One: Have not created an index.html page or set a default page for the root of your webpage.

Two: People from outside the network can not access your web page.


Is this correct?

#
NameVirtualHost *:80
#

#
<VirtualHost *:80>
#
ServerName www.eblog.dnsdojo.com
#
ServerAlias eblog.dnsdojo.com
#
DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www/eblog"
#
ErrorLog c:/wamp/logs/eblog_error.log
#
</VirtualHost>
#

#
<VirtualHost *:80>
#
ServerName www.multiforums.dnsdojo.com
#
ServerAlias multiforums.dnsdojo.com
#
DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www/multiforums"
#
ErrorLog c:/wamp/logs/multi_error.log
#
</VirtualHost>


Should look more like this:

#
NameVirtualHost *:80
#
 
#
<VirtualHost www.eblog.dnsdojo.com:80>
#
   ServerName www.eblog.dnsdojo.com
#
   ServerAlias eblog.dnsdojo.com
#
   DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www/eblog"
#
   ErrorLog c:/wamp/logs/eblog_error.log
#
</VirtualHost>
#
 
#
<VirtualHost www.multiforums.dnsdojo.com:80>
#
   ServerName www.multiforums.dnsdojo.com
#
   ServerAlias multiforums.dnsdojo.com
#
   DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www/multiforums"
#
   ErrorLog c:/wamp/logs/multi_error.log
#
</VirtualHost>

Edit: Why not do this on your Ubuntu box where Apache is optimized (Linux)? Have you edited your hostfile so that your local machine knows that it handles these domains?

The Ubuntu version of Apache is different from all other versions. The major difference being it does not use a httpd.conf file. Instead it breaks this file down in to multiple parts and uses symbolic links to reference them. You will want to reference the hostname of the server in which web traffic is coming from.

I don't have much experience with Windows host files but in linux the correct syntax would be:

127.0.0.1 www.eblog.dnsdojo.com www.multiforums.dnsdojo.com

not

127.0.0.1 www.eblog.dnsdojo.com
127.0.0.1 www.multiforums.dnsdojo.com

You want it to point to your local IP because thats where traffic for your domain is going to be coming in at. So if your local ip is 192.168.1.10:

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 MYCOMPUTERSHOSTNAME
192.168.1.10 www.eblog.dnsdojo.com www.multiforums.dnsdojo.com
192.168.1.1 MYSERVER

Here is an example of my from my work's Ubuntu server that runs two websites and one email server on three seperate domains:

jordan@einstein:~/python$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 einstein.SSDLLC.local einstein
192.168.16.24 mail.MYDOMAIN.com projectmanagement.MYOTHERDOMAIN.com mail.MYTHIRDDOMAIN.com
192.168.16.1 SSDFLA.SSDLLC.local

Edit: I did an nslookup on your domain and you should know that I am not even able to ping it. Check your router/firewall setting to ensure that you are allowing traffic in and out (but not to the point where the security of the server can become compromised).

Edit 2: It also looks like you are using Bellsouth ISP. You should note that their home service does in fact block port 80 and is against their AUP to host a web server.

well you told me what should be there but not what file that needs to be edited lol. As for bellsouth/at&t blocking port 80, i dont see how thats possible since 80 is for web traffic so if they did block it i shouldnt be able to get on here, as well as that being said i called them just now as i did 3 months ago when i started this and they both told me that a web server can be run on this isp. Btw, i wasnt running wamp nor the dyndns updater when you tried to ping....so please try again now that i have it running

It wouldn't matter if you were running a your web services or not. Something like a firewall is filtering ICMP (ping) packets.

It is very common for ISPs to block port 80. They are able to filter these ports because it is uploading on port 80 as opposed to downloading on port 80.

Do you have the ports foreworded correctly on your router?

DId you set up your devices to have a static IP so your router wouldn't start forwarding to the wrong machine?
