[CUBE] WEB Hosting through an Airport Extreme

[Bumala, Robert W]

Luis,
  In a nutshell, my problem is:
1. The WEB site works perfectly stand alone (i.e. http//10.0.2.201/)
2. The WEB site works perfectly with just the computer connected to the net (http//www.bumala.com (or http//207.213.217.244)) 
3. With the airport connected to the net and set to map port 80 through to 10.0.1.210 port 80, the web site times out.
According to all I have read on the subject, this should be all I need to do, but it doesn't work.
Thanks,
Bob.

Bob,

I might not have well understood your question but... I think you're saying you can't access your website while doing it through the machine that's hosting it... the CUBE itself. Isn't it so?

Well... I experienced (and still) this problem with a dinamic IP (and not a static one as yours). So the solution (for me) was to configure it using this service:

< http://www.dyndns.org/ >

Actually, I'm still not able to access my website when typing the domain address I chose from dyndns: http://xxxx.ath.cx/~user/
But, if I replace it by the airport's range IP number: http://10.0.1.2/~user/ it shows up just perfect.

I'll try to find the link/URL describing this kind of *glitch* when using an AirPort configuration while hosting a website and post it later here if you want.

Once again, sorry if I somewhow messed things up and I'm not even achieving your issue. My intention was always to help and not to confuse.

Hi All,
  We just got DSL service in our area, and we now have a reasonably fast Ethernet connection with a static IP address.  I'm trying to set up my cube to host a web site.  So...  I set the cube to a static local IP address of 10.0.1.201, enabled web sharing, and installed the web site.  I checked it out by browsing 10.0.1.201, and the page displays just fine.  I set up the airport extreme for port mapping sending port 80 to local IP 10.0.1.201 port 80.  I also set the advanced settings to make 201 the default host.  I got nothing.  When I browse my static Ip address (207.213.217.244), it just times out.
  So, I hooked up the network directly to my Ibook, and browsed my static IP address, and it works just fine.  So now I'm out of ideas.  I checked the httpd logs and I noticed that I get traffic from all of the usual data miners (looking for robots.txt), and some I think trying to plant worms, but I can't seem to get through.
  I set the airport to send it's syslog to the cube, but it doesn't seem to make it.  Do I have to change some settings on the cube to accept it?  Where would the airport syslog show up?  Anybody have any ideas I could try?

Thanks,
Bob.
