First I want to say that I probably read everything that there is on the internet regarding the problem.
And the problem is that I can not access my owncloud over doc.selfhost.eu if I am in the same network. But I can access it from inside the network over its internal IP (192.168.2.200) and from outside the network over doc.selfhost.eu.
My setup: A home server running Linux Mint 17.2 Cinnamon which is supposed to be for media and to run owncloud.
The server is connected to a Speedport 723v which doesn't support NAT Loopback. Ports 80 and 443 are forwarded and for dynamic DNS I have an account on selfhost.de which I entered in the router settings.
On my Windows 7 machine (which I'm trying to access the server from) I entered 192.168.2.200 (the servers internal IP) as DNS.
In Mint I disabled network manager (in fact I removed it) and I am now using interfaces.
Not a solution would be to change the hosts files of all the clients (on unrooted androids this isn't even possible).
Question:
- What would I have to change to access my owncloud from the internal network over the external IP?
/etc/network/interfaces
# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.2.200
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.2.1
dns-nameservers doc.selfhost.eu 8.8.8.8
/etc/resolv.conf
# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
nameserver 127.0.0.1
In /etc/dnsmasq.conf this is the only thing I added:
listen-address=127.0.0.1
listen-address=192.168.2.200
address=/doc.selfhost.eu/192.168.2.200
/etc/dnsmasq.d/doc.selfhost.eu (read somewhere to create this)
address=/doc.selfhost.eu/192.168.2.200
/etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 doc-desktop
192.168.2.200 doc.selfhost.eu
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
Owncloud settings in /var/www/owncloud/config/config.php
'trusted_domains' =>
array (
0 => '192.168.2.200',
1 => 'doc.selfhost.eu',
);
Apache configuration In /etc/apache2/apache2.conf everything is pretty standard. I only added:
ServerName doc-desktop
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/owncloud.conf. No changes in sites-available, no linking.
<VirtualHost 192.168.2.200:80>

I hope this is everything. Thanks.
