Re: Accessing Web server...
By: IB JOE to All on Mon Jul 06 2020 07:16 am
I know there is an answer, problem is I'm not the most technically
bright. Having said that.... I've had different internet providers over
the years. And as a result I have had different different hardware,
modems and rounters, over time.
There have been times I could access the BBS web server from the local network using the bbs name ... joesbbs.com ... and then there are
times, though hardware changes, I cannot and I have to resort to using
the local address... 192.188.?.?
I have added SSL certificates to my web server lately and now can't
access board because my certificates are based on the the bbs site name
and not the local address.
Thanx in advance
Joe
Which operating system are you using in your client machine?
If linux, you can edit your /etc/hosts file and add an entry like:
192.168.?.? joesbbs.com
That way, your computer will know 129.168.?.? IS joesbbs.com. You will be able to browse your server by using the
https://joesbbs.com URL from the LAN.
