Hi
I am uing EHCP.NET Free Hosting Control Panel
I installed it on ubuntu and it is installed properly,
I am hosting on 192.168.2.XX through router I open port 80 & 21
so if I type my ip address it will go to my hosting panel home page, same if I type 127.0.0.1 or http://localhost , I can login for each domain and it will login into dir of that domain , so this is also working fine,
but the problem is the DNS Server
I am using www.namecheap.com
on that I made NameServer
ns1.mydomain.com = my ip address
ns2.mydomain.com = my ip address
and after making this I transfer my domain to my DNS/NS ns1.mydomain.com & ns2.mydomain.com
but it doesn't work, I get page cannot be displyed or the url forward failed error
please help me
I am in need of help big time
thank you

What happens if you type your external IP address (find this at http://whatismyip.com) into another computer (not on your network)? Does your web page load?

It shows my domain control panel, when I type my IP address.

ns2.mydomain.com it also shows same thing as what my IP shows

you need to register your domain in a domain seller, then redirect your domain to your server as dns..

you need to register your server as dns server in your domain seller.
domain seller's usually have sections like register dns.

Go to register dns,
enter ns1.yourdomain.com to name, and your external/real server ip as dns ip.
you may use same ip for both ns1.yourdomain.com and ns2.yourdomain.com

Unfortunately, some domain sellers does not allow same ip for ns1 and ns2. In this case, you need either a secondary ip for your server, or you need to port your domain to another domain seller/registrar..

Additionally:
* if you are using your server to access you pages, that is hosted on same server/ehcp, then make sure that you checked checkbox at settings, "This machine is used for Desktop access too (Update hosts file with domains) " - placed on top of settings.. Otherwise, you wont be able to see your domains on your local server...

* if you are on same internal Local Area Network - LAN as your server that you installed ehcp, then you wont be able to access your domains until you update your hosts file (linux/windows) with info like domains at /etc/hosts. Please be sure that this is a case only you are on same lan as your server. (Used by some companies..)

have a look at relevant pages too:
