General DNS & Domains Dyn Email Update Clients Dyn Developer

Hello all! I have a question, I hope you can help me with this, or lead me to a guide where this is explained, I'm quite a rookie on this.

I've just registered with Dyndns, created a host:

Hostname Service Info http://customtrac.dyndns.org Host 186.61.23.xxx

Then I installed the ddclient (in CentOS), with the following config file:

protocol=dyndns2 use=web login=kfaday password=xxxx http://customtrac.dyndns.org

and I want to see a website I'm running locally in that computer from another computer. How do I access it?

My host is "customtrac.dyndns.org " And in that unix box I've got a published website that I can access from any browser in the following URL: "http://localhost:8114/SATrack/wiki"

How do I tell CentOS that I want to redirect that site I'm hosting locally "http://localhost:8114/SATrack/wiki" to "customtrac.dyndns.org"?

Also, what if I want to host several sites in the same computer? They'd have different URLS internally, how can that be reflected with "customtrac.dyndns.org"?

Thanks in advance! Kind regards, Martin

Please see this guide, also found at the sticky posts at the top of this forum.

You'll need to ensure that your chosen web server isn't just listening on loopback (aka localhost). The documentation for your web server software will tell you how to do that.

For hosting multiple sites you'll probably want to upgrade to Dynamic DNS Pro and then configure your virtual hosts to support both the internal name and the external name (eg if it is webmail.customtrac.local internally use webmail.customtrac.dyndns.org externally).
