Topic: V host resolves locally but not from a proxy or externally??

[leecooper2013]

Hi i am hosting 2 sites www.guildwebsites.co.uk and www.aaconsolesandcomputers.co.uk . From an external source I can get www.aaconsolesandcomputers.co.uk to resolve from anywhere, but www.aaconsolesandcomputers.co.uk will only resolve locally, even though both dns records point to my ip address

Windows Hosts file is as follows

# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost
127.0.0.1 www.aacomputersandconsoles.co.uk
127.0.0.1 www.guildwebsites.co.uk

Apaache virtual host reads as follows

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "E:/xampp/htdocs"
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin lee_cooper2007@hotmail.co.uk
DocumentRoot "E:/xampp/htdocs/aacomputersandconsoles"
ServerName aacomputersandconsoles.co.uk
ServerAlias www.aacomputersandconsoles.co.uk
ErrorLog "logs/aacomputersandconsoles.co.uk-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/aacomputersandconsoles.co.uk-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin lee_cooper2007@hotmail.co.uk
DocumentRoot "E:/xampp/htdocs/guildwebsites"
ServerName guildwebsites.co.uk
ServerAlias www.guildwebsites.co.uk
ErrorLog "logs/guildwebsites.co.uk-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/guildwebsites.co.uk-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>

Index.html is located in both the referenced locvations. ANY IDEAS????

No they do not and it is obvious why.
Using nslookup at the command line we see
The first works because it points to your IP.

> www.aacomputersandconsoles.co.uk
Name: www.aacomputersandconsoles.co.uk
Address: 86.2.155.117

These however point to some other IP.

> www.aaconsolesandcomputers.co.uk
Name: www.aaconsolesandcomputers.co.uk
Address: 92.242.140.2

> www.guildwebsites.co.uk
Name: www.guildwebsites.co.uk
Address: 92.242.140.2

> 92.242.140.2
Name: unallocated.barefruit.co.uk
Address: 92.242.140.2

How long ago did you make changes to the DNS?
Sometimes it can take awhile to propagate.

Also note: there's consolesandcomputers and computersandconsoles ... the latter is the working one and I see nothing in your config for the former. The former however wouldn't work anyway with the 92.242.140.2 IP.

I changed the www A record weeks ago.
when i check with uk-cheapest DNS Manager both www A records point to my ip address

Then I guess you need to ask them why it's not propagating.
