 Posted: Mon 20 May '13 11:15 Post subject: How to access LAN app from WAN |
 |
|
Hi,
I am apache beginner so I am sorry for my questions.
Now let me describe my issue.
I am running Win Server 2003 32 bit with Apache 2.2.8, PHP 5.2.9-2 and MySQL server 5.1.
My customer needs to use some specific app which is running under the apache.
Well, app is running well from LAN and from WAN as well. Issue is that from LAN user needs to access it via http://servername/index.html and from WAN http://www.companyweb.com and notes and other link are not working when user gets email from LAN and tries to access it from WAN.
I tried to set up LAN access via WAN address but it is not working. There is no DHCP on the server, there is AD only. It looks like DNS issue but I am not sure so is there any way how to solve it in apache setting?
Thanks for answer.
regards,
Jan |

| Since you run AD, you must have an DNS server running. There you may override www.companyweb.com with the internal IP from the server. You only have to make sure that the clients in the network use the AD's DNS server. |

Hi James,
thanks for answer.
Do you mean and a record into DNS forward lookup zone? Like www.neededwebsite.xxx with internal IP for example 192.168.1.1?
Thanks,

It will not work I think... I should add new forward lookup zone because my local domain is something.local and website is www.something-crm.xx.
I tried to add new forward zone - something-xxx.xx and then add a record www with needed IP but it doesnt work as well. When I am trying ot use internal IP it works but it doesnt when I am using website name.

If the website you need access to is wibble.example.com, then do the following:
1) Create a forward lookup zone for example.com
2) Create an A record for wibble with the internal IP address |

Hi Sarah,
that should be a master-zone on that dns-server, where you want to host the entries. slave-zones are used for given zones, used for reducing the load of the master-server and for increasing the reliability. |
