Thanks bro!

Thanks, will do!

No problem bro! Really glad I could help! 💪🏾💪🏾

@@KeepItTechie just wonder why you use 'apt' and im used to using 'apt-get' is there a difference?

Apt was release a couple years ago to shorten the apt-get command. I can't remember when apt was released, but apt-get still works. Also apt-get is still needed because it still has more functions from apt, from what I remember. Check out the man page for both.

No problem 👍 I appreciate you watching!

Thanks

Appreciate it

Thanks fam!

Yeah that will be hard being that my isp blocks port 80. I will try to make a video on let's encrypt using a Google instance in the cloud.

Thank you for watching. You make some very great points and I appreciate the feedback. I am looking at incorporating some of the things you suggested in future videos.

I followed this tutorial but I can't get the test sites to show on my local network. I have a server set up on my gigabyte brix and I use my laptop as a client. I am trying to host 2 websites on the server as demonstrated in your video but no matter what I do, when I test the web pages on my Laptop, they will never open. What I can only see is the default Apache page when I type my server's IP address on my laptop. Is there anything wrong with my server or the laptop?

@@fortebooks4595 You have to remember he set the proxy address to 8080. So you have to not only type in your ip address , but your proxy port. 127.0.0.1:8080 or your ip, what ever that maybe i.e 192.168.1.4:8080

i tried this but i am getting the "Unable to connect" error message @@danielyount9812

It could be a few different things and its kind of hard for me to help you in the comments. Join my discord server and I'll try to help: discord.gg/YEGTeN

@@KeepItTechie installing discord now

Same thing with me. I can't access the created webpage.

Yes, it will be accessible within the same network from any device.

@@KeepItTechie Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the kind words! 😎

Okay, so now I got to the point where I can resolve those names just from the VM I´m working with but when I try to resolve those names from another PC on my network or an external network I still get this error.

Same issue, here. Did you find any solution?

SSH is an application that allows you to connect to a remote server from the command line. Most Linux server when you install has OpenSSH server installed by default. You can use your user account to log in. Check out my video on where I briefly cover it. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jNyhfZiZv9TUemg.html

Me too. I need help 😭😭

Same. I can't figure out what the problem is.

Sorry for the delay. Did you check the firewall? Try using the ip.

@@KeepItTechie I finally discovered that I have to set up the hosts on the Laptop too. Thanks for the follow up

So sorry for the delay! I have a couple videos that walk through the process of setting up Plex and Nextcloud. Pi Hole is not that difficult and I can make a video on the setup.

Plex: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hZ6PqdpylZnNh2g.html Nextcloud: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p85hqpylsNqrpmQ.html Let me know if you have any question.

LOL Thanks for watching bro! I hear that all the time!

Sorry I missed your post! Are you still having this issue?

Without seeing everything I can't really help you troubleshoot this problem. If you can please join my discord and I can try to assist you. discord.gg/vqPtFW

@@KeepItTechie Thank you for replying, i found it, because i send the 2 domeins to the same external ip adres of my home router, it doesnt know wich site it comes from. So i let 1 of the 2 site be send on a defrend port number. Then i put that port in the Host of apache2 config and open the port on ufw. This worked for me.

I basically right-clicked in the terminal windows and clicked paste. For some reason OBS wasn't capturing the menu when you right click.

@@KeepItTechie hey thank you so much for responding but after you paste what do you do to save it and go back to terminal i tried ctrl O.

I'm so sorry but I am very unfamiliar with Plesk. Based on what I saw after reading about it, it look as thought this is similar to c-panel. They probably have controls in place to prevent people from going around their settings. I'm not 100% sure though. I'll search a little more.

@@KeepItTechie yes it’s like cPanel, just cheaper but also limited to only 3 domains. Anyway, I just created another droplet dedicated to the command line way until I become more advanced in the future to go around their settings

That most likely has to do with your browsers. Most browsers now a days default all request as https protocol. Since you most likly don't have a ssl cert installed on the server. Try removing the "s" and use http.

@@KeepItTechie This fix works :) I am in a corporate environment though and all subdomains are required to be https. I used letsencrypt to add a cert for the subdomain, but it didn't seem to do anything

@@KeepItTechie Doesn't work for me. Still getting the error message saying that the browser is "having trouble finding that site"

I got you! I was planning on redoing the video on Ubuntu Server 22.04

Join my discord server. Somebody maybe able to help you. discord.gg/2A2u4qDZed

@@KeepItTechie thanks for response I will join :)

I'm glad you asked. You can copy/paste within the terminal when using SSH. Whenever I install a server on hardware or on a VM I always tend to ssh into the server once it's built to do the configuration.

@@KeepItTechie Do you mean that you are accessing the server through ssh from the host machine?

@@KeepItTechie Thanks, I just tried it...It works...And, you saved me a lot of time ;)

@@Ab-on5dj No problem. I'm glad that worked for you.

@@KeepItTechie I am stuck again and i need your help. I've followed the steps in this tutorial, but I am still not able to access the domain name, I get "DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN" on my browser. However, if I enter my local ip address , it works fine...What's the issue?

Load same site whatever the sub domain is

You have to create a separate virtual host file for each sub-domain and map it to the directory.

Thanks for the reply. But will it affect the performance if there are say 1000s of host files there?

If you want to access it from outside your network, I recommend that you should have a static IP. Most ISP's don't change your router IP as much anymore. The only time you will receive a new IP from your service provider when the router/modem is rebooted. It will work but you have to update your domain name every time your IP changes.

@@KeepItTechie Thank you so much💪💪

You probably have to modify your host file. If you have more then one website, the server doesn't know what website to serve you.

It doesn't matter what you put there if thats the case. The configuration takes over once the domain name is translated to the IP address of the server by DNS, which you don't have. You can put www.example.com. In order to get to the site, you need to specify the folder on the server. Example 179.20.35.105/site_folder_name

@@KeepItTechie Thanks for the quick reply , not sure what i do wrong but i have performed the exact same steps like 10 times and i can only get to load the first site. i am sure i do everything correctly. If i change the DocumentRoot on my site1 .config to w/e of the two sites i have on var/www/site1 or site2 it works for both of them but i cant seem to make both configs to work at the same time , only one config seems to be working and i have both enabled.

@@ioannisandreadakis9067 Verify that the configuration file is in the sites-enabled directory for site2. Sometimes it doesn't create a symbolic link to the configuration file you created. Therefore you have to manually create the link. See ln command man page. Also, you may have to change the server name and alias to something different. Try example1.com for site1 and example2.com for site2. It may be getting confused.

I'm not sure what you mean? At the end of the video, I do show both HTML files I created on the server in the browser.

@@KeepItTechie These were my assignment requirements: Part 3.2: Apache virtual hosting Configure your apache server for virtual hosting. You are to create 2 different virtual hosts firstname_lastname.domain1.com and firstname_lastname.domain2.com having document roots /var/www/domain1 and /var/www/domain2 respectively. Add the following demo html pages in both document roots: This is domain DOMAIN_NUMBER #Where DOMAIN_NUMBER is either 1 or 2 The domain belongs to YOUR_NAME #Where YOUR_NAME is your actual name Part 4: Desktop VM configuration On your Desktop VM, edit your /etc/hosts file and add entries for firstname_lastname.domain1.com and firstname_lastname.domain2.com to resolve to the Server 2 IP address. Part 5: Final steps On the desktop VM, open up firefox and point it to “firstname_lastname.domain1.com” Take a screenshot of the resulting webpage and call it domain1.png. point your browser to Faculty of Applied Science and Technology ::SYST28296 Linux Admin ::“firstname_lastname.domain2.com” Take a screenshot of the resulting webpage and call it domain2.png. Point firefox to the login page of webmin on the server, log in and take a screenshot and call it webmin.png ACTUALLY you have done your part well and displayed it on web too, what I meant to say is I followed you so well for part 3.2 of my assignment fully covered and expected more of firefox stuff. Somehow I couldn't figure out part 4 and 5 . Anyway, thanks for your effort! I learnt much more in your 20 mins video than my professor teaching for entire 3 hours . :)

I understand! Thanks! I'm glad it helped. Let me know if you have anymore questions. I'm happy to help. =)

Yeah cox block a lot of ports. They use the excuse that they are protecting their customers. They will open it if you purchase the business package.

Sorry man. I'm not sure where you are hosting it but most cloud platforms have a way to connect to it directly within the counsel. I think its called LISH.

@@KeepItTechie vpc also works but I just deleted and reinstalled the os to more practice. Thank for the awesome tutorials.
