[DIR] sharedip/ 04-Jun-2006 09:49 -
[DIR] webalizer/ 04-Jun-2006 09:46 -

My root website goes to a folder view of the above.

Is there something ive messed up with the Ubuntu install?

Ok Still stuck on this.

I currently have a Linux machine and my windows machine on a local network. The linux machine will be going to a datacenter sometime in the future but for now I just want to be able to access a single website on it from my windows machine.

I'm probably doing this wrong but I added a new site in ISPConfig

Hostname: dev
Domain: softwarediy.com
IP 192.168.123.155

Now, im stuck at trying to work out how on my windows machine to access this website.

If I enter http://192.168.123.155 in IE on the windows machine i get a sharedIP " This IP address is shared. For access to the web site which you look for, enter its address instead of its IP." warning.

I know that if I enter http://dev.softwarediy.com then it will get resolved by my ISP rather than the Linux box and end up as a server not found error.

If I add
192.168.123.155 dev.softwarediy.com
to my windows hosts then it will just do the IP address again.

I understand that ISPConfig uses VirtualHosts to get multiple domains on a single IP using domain names.

So, I think it boils down to:

Is there any way to connect to a newly created site on the local ISPConfig server from my windows XP machine on the local network?

Im confused at how to do it.

Have a look here: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=432&highlight=hosts+file+windows

 

Thanks Falco

I looked at that link and the two methods are what i've already tried.

A) ISPConfig only accepts domain based websites so no http://192...
B) Changing anything on the windows hosts file will not work as a result of #A

Any more ideas?

I can see that working from the same machine (Linux and Hosts setup on the same machine) but I have two machines, the Linux server and another Windows PC on a LAN.

I will try again as you suggest tho.

Make sure you edit the correct hosts file on Windows.
