Need help hosting an XE APEX application using a domain name

Hi,
I have a pc with win xp and have installed XP with sp2. I have installed XE and upgraded to APEX 3.1. I have apache 2.2 installed. I have a dynamic IP so I have been using dyndns.org. I have just bought a domain name from 123-reg.co.uk. Now I want to link my domain name to my app.
At the moment my users type http://mydomain.dyndns.com/apex. That open my APEX home page. Ideally I would like my users to type www.mydomain.co.uk and it should default to one of my applications.
1. How do I get apache to redirect to a default application so users can just type www.mydomain.co.uk?
I have the following lines in the config file
<IfModule proxy_module>
ProxyPass /apex http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex
ProxyPassReverse /apex http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex
ProxyPass /i http://127.0.0.1:8080/i
ProxyPassReverse /i http://127.0.0.1:8080/i
</IfModule>2. How do I link my domain name from 123-reg.co.uk to dyndns.com to my local pc?
I sort of got it to work by setting up web forwarding in my domain settting I choi
Non-framed web-forwarding - The destination URL will remain in the browser's address bar
but then the url reverts back to mydomain.dysdns.org instead of www.mydomain.co.uk
Thanks for your help.

Hello,
Non-framed web-forwarding - The destination URL will remain in the browser's address barI wouldn't advise using forwarding, since you have control over the DNS set the DNS to point to your IP address rather than their server, this will have a couple of advantages -
1) You don't incur the 'penalty' of having your users having to go via your hosting companies servers for each request (they communicate directly with your server instead).
2) You will incur less 'pain', web-forwarding can cause quite a few issues depending on your exact requirements (they might not affect you today or tomorrow, but someday down the line you might get bitten by them).

    That's Sun's networking tutorial series. Live it, learn it, love it. You'll need to decide if you want to use connected sockets or datagrams. You'll need details like, can multiple clients connect simultaneously?
    The tutorials are the first step though.

    It depends on what you mean by "verifying the details".  sberman gave you the best place to look to research the technical specifications of the device you are thinking of purchasing.

  • Design a site, use my domain name, and host it via .mac

    It sounds simple, and I thought a search through these forums would yield some easy answers, but no luck, so here goes:
    I'm an advanced Photoshop and Final Cut Studio user, running an audio/video/image restoration and transfer business, but I'm a total beginner in the iWeb/.Mac area.
    About three years ago, I decided it was time for a web site, so I went to a local company; they designed and still host my site, for which I pay them $30.00 per month; it's a simple site with no ecommerce, and six or seven pages. There is a contact form through which potential customers can email me.
    I also have a domain name, for which I pay $15.00 per year to the same company.
    My site is OK, but it's the same as it was three years ago; any small changes I have asked the company to make (mostly just text additions/changes) they have done at the rate of $75.00 per hour.
    What I want to do is cancel my account with them, design a totally new site using iWeb, start a .mac account, and have the site hosted using my domain name, so that the average customer who sees my newspaper ad can navigate to my new site exactly as they can with the current one. (I only have one email account, through my ISP, which I don't want to change.)
    I've got lots of questions, but mostly, what else do I have to do to make this switch besides cancelling my account with my current company? (After an overlap period, of course) What happens with my domain name--who will I pay to keep it? And finally, what simple things am I not thinking of?
    Many thanks in advance to anyone with enough patience to read through this, and still find time to provide some assistance.

    You can design your site in iWeb and upload it to either .Mac or a commercial server.
    You would then provide the domain name registrar with your server ID number or, in the case of .Mac, your .Mac URL and instruct them to point your domain name in that direction.
    .Mac is neither intended for, nor the best option, for a business site.
    For example the company I host with - Host Excellence - allows you a free domain name registration and up to 6 sites with unlimited web mail and more server space than you are likely to need for about the cost of a .Mac account.
    Commercial servers are a lot more reliable than .Mac, have wider bandwidth and usually have good tech support.
    You only have to look at the number of problems in this forum concerning .Mac to see that tech support is not readily available from Apple.
    I'm not putting down .Mac. I use it myself for various purposes and it is good for its intended use of one clicking publishing of personal websites.

  • Using own domain name , duplication of web address HELP !!

    Hi all,
    Although this is not a big problem it is quite annoying. I am currently building website within Iweb 09. I have managed to set up my own domain name with no problems at all. The only thing is I get a duplication of my website name on the browser here it is :
    *http://www.topviewweddings.co.uk/topviewweddings/Home.html*
    I would ideally like to just have *http://www.topviewweddings.co.uk*
    Anyone have any ideas on how to do this ??
    cheers
    T

    One way would be to use standard domain name forwarding (not CNAME) and enable masking. That would put http://www.topviewweddings.co.uk in the URL window of ALL your pages. The downside to that is visitors can only bookmark your first page which may or may not be a problem. My tutorial site, http://toadstutorials.info , is set up that way.

  • I want to use a domain name and I have alot of questions. please help!!!

    If i switch to a domain, will i be able to se all of the iwebs features?
    will i have to pay for a domain and .mac subscription?
    It says i used up 17mb of 25mb on my idisk, once i hit 25 what happens?

    ok well lets say i want to use a domain name such as
    www.mywebste.com. if i forward it then all u have ot
    do is type in www.mywebsite.com and it will bing u to
    web.mac.com/whatever?
    Yes.
    If i do it this way will i
    still be able to use all of the iwebs fatures such as
    blog comment, hit counter...?
    I think so, but since I don't do this I don't know for sure.
    also if i do it this way will i have to pay for the
    .mac subscription too?
    Yes, if you keep your site physically on .Mac you have to pay for it.
    can you send me a website where i can find lots of
    effects i can use in my iweb page because the effects
    on iweb are very limited.
    The best thing for you to do is search this forum using the term for the effect you are interested in.
    If you find iWeb too limited and don't find workarounds in this Forum for adding the effects you want, you can consider using another app. Here is one list:

  • Cant connect using another domain name

    Hi. iChat is up and running, we're able to connect to it using user@servername, but when we try to use another domain name it doesnt work (dns is pointed to that server, if i ping it it does give the correct ip), i know the dns is working because if i check the server log it does say i connected to it, but 1 sec. after it disconnects any ideas?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    You must ensure that you list the other domains in the Host Domains section of the Settings tab Server Admin application. Assuming you have done that and you still have problem, it will help us help you if you post the entries you have in the log file and the domains and one of the usernames you are trying to use.

  • Using Multiple Domain Names to Access Our Portal

    We operate one domain corp.company.com but all internal intranet web servers get  assigned the address inside.ZZZ. The inside.ZZZ is on our IE exclusion list but company.com is not. Adding company.com seems to be a miserable task so we are looking at adding an alias so our users can access the server at the new inside.ZZZ url. We have DNS pointing the URL to the right server and that seems to be working properly.
    Something within the application is redirecting the page to gnwhepdev.corp. company .com (our server’s domain address) after the initial login.  Since *.corp. company .com is not in the exclusion list, it is considered an outside address and rerouted.  We are trying to find some way to pass the alias within the  application itself so that we don’t need *.corp. company .com in the exclusion list and we can point users to the inside.ZZZ url.
    Our team researched this issue and found documentation that supported the use of multiple domain names to access a Enterprise Portal.  The documentation that we found is below:
    How To…Configure the J2EE Engine Deployment Descriptor (Version 1.00 – July 2004)
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d0eb8120-b66c-2910-5795-894f384fc054
    Particularly on page 13-15 in the documentation it talks about enabling the portal via multiple domain names (Section 3.7:  Using Multiple Domain Names to Access the Portal).  Also, the documentation says the following:
         You must have sever proxy servers, each with a different domain name.  You then activate the filter mechanism and configure it to work with several proxy servers
    We have several questions about the possiblities of being able to set this up and whether it would require another server where Web Dispatcher would need to be installed for this configuration to work properly.  Can someone please provide some insight into what needs to be configured and answer the question about the Web Dispatcher?  Also, if Web Dispatcher is required, what steps need to be done to configure?  If Web Dispatcher is not needed, what will we need to do apart from that to set this up for our Enterprise Portal system?

    It is but you have to use masking......

  • Using a domain name with the mac site

    If I use a domain name on Site #2, does that mean that Site #1 will automatically have the same domain name?
    I already have a Site #1 up and running. Now I purchased a new domain name that I would like to use only for site# 2. I was worried about going in with any edits to Site #1 just in case it would go to the new domain name instead of where it is right now.
    Any light on that subject?

    If you have 2 websites in the same domain folder the uppermost site or the site that you most recently published will be linked to your domain name. If you don't want it to be then you need to re-publish with the site that you want to be linked to your domain name is uppermost. You can move the sites around by dropping and dragging.
    The easiest thing to do is to separate the sites so that you have site 1 in 1 folder and site 2 in another. Following this, the site that you publish first will be linked to your domain name. If it is not this site that you want then just publish the other site.
    How do you have the first site set up? Is it using CNAME or web forwarding? Have you entered your personal domain name into your .Mac account?
    If you have one .Mac account and two websites and two personal domain names, then you can use CNAME for one site and web forwarding with or without masking for the other site. You can only enter one domain name into one .Mac account.
