I am at an impasse with a clean install of a web server using Apache 2.4.7 installed on Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS. I have followed very helpful tutorials that show how to configure multiple virutal hosts via copying the 000-default.conf to example.com.conf / test.com.conf and setting those parameters correctly. In fact, when I set my /etc/hosts ("internal") to point to my (dynamic) IP, the behavior is correct, i.e., I am able to reach both of the virtual host's websites as expected. However, because I have a dynamic IP, I have a free account at no-ip.com that links the IP to a hostname (example.ddns.net) and when I use that phrase in the /etc/hosts, I only see my default virtual host internally.
More importantly, when I check "externally" to see what outside users see, I only see my default virtual host no matter how I define my IP (either by number or by hostname). I have the domain names parked at GoDaddy and want to forward each to my hostname ultimately so that is the goal.
If there are any checks/test one can suggest to better diagnose the problem, I would be happy to run them and report back. If I was unclear in my description of the problem in any way, please let me know and I will clarify (admittedly, this is my first web server install). Thank you in advance for any guidance the collective wisdom of this forum can provide!
Cheers,
John |

What is your Listen set to?
Do you use ip based or name based vhosts? |

| What do you get if you open the internal IP from that server. Nothing? |

Excuse my ignorance but I'm not positive what you mean by internal IP. If you mean the IP I've set for that server on my network (e.g., 192.168.xxx.xxx) then I can launch that IP internally and I see my default webpage.
All of the paths I've tried always show my default webpage. Is there a diagnostic I can try that would show a failed name resolution that then reverts back to the default because all else has failed? This seems to be the behavior. If I need to post code snippets, just let me know.
Thanks again,
John |
