Hi all, I've finally got RH installed on my laptop and I must say I'm impressed with how well/easy it went on. I use it mainly for web site and database development.
So I can use it out of the office I have Apache, Bind, and PostgreSQL installed. I mirror the web site and database content, and then turn on bind to redirect everything to 127.0.0.1. In this way, I can work in the office (with local bind off) or on the road (local bind on). Well, that's the thoery. However, in the office, with local bind off, everything appears fine except that I can't access the web sites. I tried it first with mozilla, then simulated it with wget. Below is the output from dig which looks fine, followed by wget which shows that it isn't. I've even taken the reference to the local bind out of /etc/resolv.conf [root@ladvent root]# dig www.stainburn.com ; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> www.stainburn.com ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 2889 ;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 1 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;www.stainburn.com.
