Geeklog Forums

Hey all,

If you go to www.floridacaching.com, you can see I'm still having problems with domain resolution. For some reason, part of the frame is getting loaded with content from my IP address instead of from the www address. This is causing images and things to not appear and things not to work.

I've tried suggestions made in another thread and none have worked. Can anyone figure out what's going on here?

Thanks for the help,

Marc

I just uninstalled Apache2 and installed and configured Apache1. I still have the same problem...

Anyone have any more suggestions?

I'm trying a different CMS in the absense of solutions. Perhaps this is a problem with the forwarding being done by Network solutions. If that's the case, then I can expect to have similar problems with E-107.

What do you mean by "part of the frame is getting loaded with content from my IP address instead of from the www address."

I went to the URL and it basically tells me your site is under construction. (perhaps you are now reloading the site).

I don't understand your issue, but you should make sure that the config.php file has been edited so that the $_CONF['site_url'] variable has your URL in it.

Are you handling DNS or is someone else?

Yes, I took the site offline so I could try another CMS (e107) which works very well (although it's arguably not as cool looking/working as geeklog).

The problem was that anyone going to the site (www.floridacaching.com) was getting only pieces of the site. The frames, instead of having the site address in them (www.floridacaching.com/images/someimage.xxx) would have the ip address in there (65.34.18.106/images/someimage.xxx) and so forth. So, I'd get a screen that was patchy (most images not there, links didn't work, etc.). This is specific to geeklog as the e107 CMS portal doesn't exibit this problem.

My domain is being managed by Network Solutions, and they are forwarding (and masking) the re-direction. So, I have my site listed with them, pointing to my static IP address. The static IP address is then mapped internally via NAT (a Netgear Router) to my actual machine.

It's like this:

Network Solutions Registration (213.?.?.?)
|_ Cisco Router with Static IP (65.34.18.106)
|_ Netgear Router with DHCP/NAT
|_ My Machine (192.168.y.x)

My Machine cannot see the address 65.34.18.106, and knows nothing about it.

Here is the information from my various configuration files:

Hosts Entries
========
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.y.x floridacaching floridacaching.com www.floridacaching.com

Apache httpd.conf
============
ServerName floridacaching

GL config.php setting
==============
$_CONF['site_url'] = 'http://www.floridacaching.com';

If anyone wants to see what it was serving up, let me know and I'll put the geeklog site back into action - should take about 30 seconds to stop apache, rename the directories and restart apache.

I'd love to get the geeklog stuff working, but it's not looking so good right now.

Thanks for any help you can provide,

Marc

For me that sounds like you mixed up some pathes and urls in the config.php.

Your $_CONF['site_url'] looks quite OK, what about your $_CONF['path'] ?

It is the slash-terminated, forward-slash-separated path to the geeklog directory. I should note that the site works fine from the actual server machine. It's only those that hit it from the internet that have problems.
