I had the maximum of 5 hosts setup and working fine, I decided I needed a different host name. So I deleted the host (www.timethejet.ath.cx) and then created a new host (www.openrealty.ath.cx).

This was done on over 2 days ago.

I'm pretty sure that I've made all the necessary changes to the local machines and can access the site from the same machine that the HTML server is running on.

I've followed the steps as per Why can't I connect to my server?

Step 1 OK as above. Step 2 same ip address's :-

  • csacalc.ath.cx Host 121.44.137.66

  • openrealty.ath.cx Host 121.44.137.66

  • trishandmike.homeip.net Host 121.44.137.66

  • tristen.ath.cx Host 121.44.137.66

  • zonemike.selfip.net Host 121.44.137.66

Step 3 Port 80 shows as open. Step 4 is confusing.

Using DSNCogReport with input as http://www.openrealty.ath.cx returns data for http://ath.cx Using Traceroute with input as http://www.openrealty.ath.cx returns :-

; source ORD

Using WHOIS (same input) returns :-

  • Domain Information
  • Query: http://www.openrealty.ath.cx
  • Status: Not Registered

Using DNSLookup (same input) returns :-

  • ; <<>> DiG 9.5.1-P3 <<>> http://www.openrealty.ath.cx
  • ;; global options: printcmd
  • ;; Got answer :
  • ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 15591

  • ;; Query time: 0 msec

  • ;; WHEN: Sat Jan 30 18:12:02 2010
  • ;; MSG SIZE rcvd: 100

Using DNSSEC (same input) returns :-

  • ;; Chasing: http://www.openrealty.ath.cx. A
  • DNSSEC Trust tree:
  • No trusted keys found in tree: first error was: No DNSSEC public key(s)
  • ;; Chase failed.
  • DNSCog same sort of output and for other OK hosts.
  • TRACEROUTE comes up with data for other OK hosts.
  • WHOIS comes up with no domain match rather than not registered for OK hosts.
  • DSN Lookup returns more data for OK hosts.
  • DSNSEC appears to return same results for OK hosts.

1 Answer:

Your hostname is fine, but it seems you're not trying to query your plain hostname, but instead you're querying the sub-domain www.openrealty.ath.cx. For that to work, the wildcard feature must be enabled on that hostname, which it is currently not.

Try one or both of the following:

  1. Use the plain hostname instead (openrealty.ath.cx) without any www prefix.
  2. Enable the wildcard feature, assuming you have Dynamic DNS Pro. If you don't have Dynamic DNS Pro, then you cannot enable the wildcard feature for new hosts.

Not at all. Simple mistakes are the worst, and the most common. I make them all the time =)
