How to configure Linux (Fedora Core 5) DNS and Firewall





you have to get a zone entry put into your DNS servers

something like:

moodle.annedawson.net.                   A
<IPADDRESS.CABLEMODEM>


Foward port 80 from your router to your Linux box ->  <IPADDRESS.CABLEMODEM>


then a virtual host in apache: edit --- /etc/httpd/httpd.conf

The virtual host config might be in
/etc/httpd/extras/vhostsnnnnn    (cant remember the exact name)
It could be
/etc/httpd/conf.d/vhosts.conf


If you are only running moodle then you can just do the port forward and
call it up by the address. eg: http://70.34.234.123
