[opensuse] host file question
HI all, OK, its been a long time since I've set this up and I must be missing something. This is my host file: 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.0.101 warthog.de warthog # special IPv6 addresses ::1 localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback fe00::0 ipv6-localnet ff00::0 ipv6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ipv6-allnodes ff02::2 ipv6-allrouters ff02::3 ipv6-allhosts ############ But when I try to use FF to go to warthog or warthog.de it times out. When I use www.warthog.de I get some odd dating site. I checked my Apache server is up and running. So I must be missing something. Any ideas? Thanks! JIM -- Check out my stamp & postcard collection!

Since you apparently do not own the domain come up with one that is not. Then it should work. Also the entry needs to be in the format of: <IP address> FQDM ALIAS Example: 123.456.789 webmachine.domain.com webmachine -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

It's not relevant if he owns the domain or not. If he has the cited entry in his hosts file, access to warthog should work. Changing the name will *not* make it work, James needs to analyze the problem instead. (For that, see my previous email.) In fact, adding host entries for hosts in domains that one doesn't own is a well-known technique to shortcut traffic to these hosts.
Also the entry needs to be in the format of:
<IP address> FQDM ALIAS
Example:
123.456.789 webmachine.domain.com webmachine
Ahem, technically no. You probably know that, but I want to mention it for the archives. The format is IP_address name1 [name2 ...] -- You can have as many names on the line as you want. -- Only one name is needed. Adding an alias is not mandatory. -- The first name is not necessarily the fully qualified domain name (FQDN), though it's custom to do so. To have a short name first, an arbitrary dotted name second, and than the FQDN is equally valid. That's because FQDN is a concept from DNS that doesn't exist in a hosts file. That leads to: -- Names can have as many or as few periods in them as you want. They don't need to refer to any domain in DNS or so. As long as the contain only alphanumeric characters, minus signs, and periods, they are valid.

I beg to differ: pc1:~ # cat /etc/hosts # # hosts This file describes a number of hostname-to-address # mappings for the TCP/IP subsystem.

No. Read what he says. His entry is
192.168.0.101 warthog.de warthog and he's trying to contact www.warthog.de
He doens't have an entry for www.warthog.de -- A generation which ignores history has no past and no future. Robert Heinlein (1907 - 1988), The Notebooks of Lazurus Long -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
HI all, OK, now it seems that by changing the ip numbers I got it to work. BUT now I get this: Access forbidden! You don't have permission to access the requested directory. There is either no index document or the directory is read-protected. If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster. Error 403 warthog.de Tue Jun 12 00:56:33 2012 Apache/2.2.21 (Linux/SUSE) ########### I'm guessing that this is a premissions problem. But where do I fix it? Thanks!

In the Apache configuration. This error code may be caused by several configuration problems. The error log in /var/log/apache2 should have more information about the root cause. But I use neither Yast nor other openSUSE mechanisms to configure my Apache servers. Therefore others must take up the thread and help you with your further problems.
