    Hello,

    I have a Debian with ISPConfig 3 install on it, I create a new website called leloisir.fr.
    For information, debian is running in VirtualBox.

    To access leloisir.fr from inside:

    I edit my C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts to add :
    192.168.0.49 leloisir.fr

    I can access to my website by : leloisir.fr

    To access leloisir.fr from outside :

    I make a port forwarding from 8080 to 192.168.0.49:80 (This is working!)

    The mainly problem is that I want to redirect my domain name wich come from OVH to my website "leloisir.fr".
    I try to make a redirection but it bring me to the index.html of /var/www

    What can I do to tell my domain name www.leloisir.fr to point on my website leloisir.fr?

    Thanks a lot

    You must change the DNS records for your domain so that the point to your router's public IP. If you use a dyndns.org hostname for your public IP, you can set up CNAME records for your domain that point to the dyndns.org hostname.
