Http Local Host, Https over DNS

[jmair]

I've run into something I haven't seen and could use a tip if anyone has any ideas.
I've downloaded 1.7.3 and created my test site. After moving it to the Windows 2008 64bit server it's been working fine also, untill I try to connect to it via the domain.

my NAT works fine (able to remote to my webserver with Ip and domain name.)
I can connect to the website on my intranet using its local ip.
I can't connect using the domain name.
I can connect to the site with https however using the https://www.domain.com

Windows Firewall disconnected.

I've checked the httpd to make sure the directory goes to my site.

It acts like there is a Deny somewhere.. Am I missing that, if so, where is it located in Wamp?


Thanks guys.

Three things

1. What is the exact error you are getting?

pasting it into your reply is a good tactic

2. What errors are being recorded in the Apache error.log?

3. Not a question, a 'quick fix' for the moment perhaps -
an entry pointing your domain to the local IP in the hosts file(s).

(have you tried pinging or tracerouting the http address?)

Good Luck

If you're trying to access it using the public ip/domain from inside your nat, usually it won't work.

Sam -
that would only be true with a router that doesn't support NAT loopback AND you were using the IP - not the FQDN.

Well, I dunno. Sam could be onto something (however I'm not sure why the https is a workaround for it.) When at home, I'm able to access the site using the www.domain.com, but can't on location. This includes the external ip of the site.. I didn't have this problem when I was on a 2003 network using WAMP, however I did just upgrade my servers to 2008 r2 from 2003, so there could be a dns setting on my server somewhere I didn't set yet.

The page that's displayed is the Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

Thanks for the help guys.

If you supply your own DNS on the local loop - that could easily be the problem.

When you are where the server is; traceroute it, that's what the tool is for. or Ping it if that blows wind for ya.

BTW - here's a good explantion of NAT loopback. I guess looking to see if your router has a setting for NAT loopback seems like a pretty good idea ATM.

If you don't have answer soon, try using Wireshark (its free)

Good Luck.
