backup server

Hi all,

Currently I've running two servers with xampp (and ubuntu).
Server 192.168.1.a as main server and 192.168.1.b as slave server.
At server 192.168.1.a runs www.example.com and on 192.168.1.b www.another-domain.net .
At both servers I made a bind9 installation with all the master zones at 192.168.1.a and all the slave zones (copy of the master zones) at 192.168.1.b
Xampp was installed at both servers, because I liked to be server b as backup in case of breakdown and as backup mailserver.
Tried configuring apache to resolv the correct documentroots via Vhosts.
Server a is doing great, but all the request for subdomains for the b-server don't work and give the standard server at the b-server.
From outside the nework a request for www.another-domain.net resolvs in www.example.com standard server.

How to configure this?
I thought portforwarding is an option to acces the second server but still worry about DNS-settings and apache to be right.
Someone has a clue?

Kind Regards,

John.

Would some one who has been successful at installing xampp on ubuntu give tell me how to install it? I tried to extract the file into the opt directory but it will not allow me and I am new to linux and ubutu. Please be specific especially if tellng me how to use a terminal or the gui. I would love to run my ubuntu as root when doing these things but I do not know how.

Embarrassed,

David

Hello David;

When you're new to UBUNTU try: ubuntuguide.org .
Nice readalble site with some must to have basics in LINUX.
Try change the root password and login as root.

Or use su root <command>

Then untar the file and you're running!!

Kind regards,

Johnno

Hi everyone,

Problem I entered is solved bij forwarding the virtual host at host A with:

<VirtualHost 192.168.1.2>
UseCanonicalName off
ServerName theother.host.nl
Redirect / http://theother.host.nl:81
</VirtualHost>

Do some router portforwarding to your second host.
This keeps the domain local and forward it external.

It works fine with me. Only thing is that I can see theother.host.nl:81 in the adress. I hope some day I find out to get ride of the :81 !!

Mayby someone got a clue there?

Would appriciate this! :P
