]]>I’m looking to move a number of sites from our old VPS to our new dedicated server.
I want to move the WP site and the db over and then set up my host file to point at the new server for the corresponding domain name to test the site out before really pointing the domain name at the site.
However I have tried this and it doesn’t seem to work. I have done a ping on the domain name and it comes back with the ip that i set up in the host file (great stuff), but the browser doesn’t seem to see the host file. I have flushed the dns, but the browser still goes to the old location.
Tried it both on a mac & a pc. Does WP redirect the browser some how?
Can anyone help?
]]>I’m hosting my own server, and have a registered domain name. The DNS entry for my URL resolves to the static IP address I lease from my ISP. My DSL router port forwards port 80 traffic to the machine that hosts WP (at a static but non-routable IP address). No problems with that so far. Outside users quickly and reliably find my WP service.
But inside my router I need to use a different mechanism. Currently, I have a HOST file entry to redirect references to my WP machine to it’s local static address. That works, but is clunky.
For example, if I bring a laptop from my LAN to the outside world, or vice versa, then I need to futz with HOST file. Is there any way to configure things so that it works both inside and out? Could/should I host an internal DNS that only knows about my one internal address and sends other requests up to public DNS servers? Any other ideas?
Thanks!
]]>I’m not sure if this is a WordPress option I need to change, a ubuntu server option or a Physical Network change.
I am hosting my own wordpress, at home, on a little old PC with ubuntu 7.10 LAMP. I have a DSL modem that I have setup port forwarding on and behind that I have a Smoothwall box that protects my home network, this also has port forwarding on it to allow http traffic to my wordpress site. This setup is working Great!!
BUT.. The issue I’m having it that external connection is fine but I can not access it from inside my network. When I type in the Internal IP address wordpress pushes me to the URL I put in the WordPress address (URL) which then resolves to the IP address of my modem, showing me my modem’s Admin page.
Is there a way I can still view and edit my wordpress at home without having to VPN to work to do it?
I’m new to this stuff so it’s all fun, though I’m a little bit stuck on this one.
thanks for any help,
Duncan.
