I recently bought myself a domain and am hosting a site, FTP, and TS3 from an old tower in my room. I run Fedora 16 as the operating system.
I was on vacation when I set this up remotely just for fun and everything seemed to be working fine until I got home. I realized I can't access my website from my internal network.
If I turn my phone's wifi off and 3g on it can access the site fine, but any computer using my LAN times out when attempting to reach the site.
I can still access the FTP server from the network so I'm not sure if it's the HTTPD service itself or something else causing the issue.
feel free to comment back here or contact me ingame.
Thanks for taking the time to read and possibly help.

I really know next to nothing about this stuff, and you've probably thought of this already. Can't help myself though, so...
Have you by any chance tried to reach the server using its LAN IP/hostname rather than the domain? I've run into this exact "problem" myself; you can't reach your public IP (i.e. the domain) from inside your LAN, as your router won't bounce such requests back.
If that's the case it's not a problem per se (everything works), but I guess you could modify your hosts file or router to point the domain to the server's LAN IP if it's too much of an inconvenience for you.
Could of course be the web server simply not listening for local connections, though it seems unlikely. And what about the TS3 server, is it also unreachable?
...Unless the tower is your router, in which case the HTTPD sees two networks and has to be configured to serve both. (drawing on experiences of mucking about with Apache etc on a crummy dual-NIC Win2k box a lifetime ago) |

(drawing on experiences of mucking about with Apache etc on a crummy dual-NIC Win2k box a lifetime ago) Every time I tried the Lan IP even when I typed it out with HTTP:// it would switch to FTP:// but I finally forced ti to connect through HTTPS:// instead and for now it seems to work...still not entirely sure what the issue was. |

Interesting. That should only happen if the server talks ftp, shouldn't it? Might be worth checking if http works if you turn the ftpd off... Also explicitly telling it to connect to port 80 (or whatever you're using)... And connecting with something really primitive like telnet and see if you still get ftp data back...
I'm of no use at all, but I'd like to thank you for giving me something to think about.
Addendum: re-read your post. At first I assumed you're getting data from the ftpd, but on second thought that may not be the case. If I were you I'd probably connect to port 80 with something displaying the raw data, just to find out what the heck is convincing your browser to switch to ftp mode. |
