Configuring ATutor with Dyndns

    Configuring ATutor with Dyndns

    Hi all,

    I installed ATutor on a Linux server machine which had a public IP address. Everything was fine. Then, we needed that public IP address for something else and I had to use dyndns for ATutor server.

    We have a router on the network that has a web server which is using port 80. Thus, I decided to use port 8080 for ATutor's Apache server.(I chose something like - atutorserver.selfip.net:8080) After that, I tested it and it was fine. It was a few days ago. When I checked again today, the log in page for Atutor (login.php) shows blank. I have other HTML pages outside ATutor folders and they are still accessible. I don't know what the problem is. I tried restarting Apache and it started ok. Can someone help me?

    Thanks a lot.

    Operating system ATutor is installed on - Kubuntu 8.10
    ATutor version - 1.6.2
    Patch #s applied - 13
    ATutor theme name - Default
    PHP version - 5.2.4
    MySQL version - 5.0.51a
    Webserver & version - Apache 2.2.8
    Changes to default settings - none

    Web browser being used - FireFox 3 and InternetExplorer 7

    Re: Configuring ATutor with Dyndns

    We're not familiar with dyndns.

    You might start by telling them what you've described here. If it was working yesterday but not today, something on the server likely changed.

    The change in ports should not be a problem.

    ATutor is generated HTML, unlike usual static HTML pages. So there could be a problem with the PHP, mysql, or maybe the apache configuration.

    Re: Configuring ATutor with Dyndns [SOLVED]

    Hi Greg,

    Thanks so much for the suggestion. It was indeed a wrong configuration in MySQL's config file. I changed the IP address of the server and forgot to update the address in the my.cnf file.
