Hey guys & gals! :o
I apologize for opening another thread about topics that I know have been discussed before, but I am pretty new to all of this and I am pretty confused and hoping to find some simple answers. :oops:
I studied MIS, so I have a pretty good programming background, but a lot of the server/www specific stuff is a mystery to me. I am trying to run two domains/websites from my serving rig using Abyss. Now I used the PHP(which is installed and set up on it) script that is floating around this forum in order to redirect the user. I am not getting an error message, but the user isn't redirected either. I have been hearing a lot about this whole NO-IP/DNS stuff and I was wondering if it was necessary for me to use this service in order for the PHP script to work. I have RoadRunner cable internet and am running a wireless netgear router. I thought my IP was static, but I have no clue why the script doesn't work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Have an outstanding weekend! 8)

You have several question into one message.
First question:
1. Q - DNS / NO-IP
1. A - DNS and or NO-IP is for those have a DYNAMIC IP. For those have STATIC IP, then you do not need it. I am not sure if you know what DYNAMIC IP really is according to the impression of your message.
DYNAMIC IP = will have random IP when connect to your ISP or it will also cycle it IP during your connection. Therefore the therm DYNAMIC. It kept on changing or moving.
STATIC IP = IP number like 123.123.123.123 for example is assign to you permently while your account is still with your ISP. You can try disconnect and reconnect all you want and still get this IP (Public). You can hit it, shoot it, yell at it, course it, tell it to die or whatever... it will stay with you until you terminate your account with your ISP or unless your ISP terminate you instead.
2. Q - PHP does not work or seem to...
2. A - PHP is a script, yes. It a server side script like JaveScript in client side script.
You can try this very simple example:
| Code: | <html>
<head>
<title>Today's Date</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Today's Date (according to this Web server) is
<?php
echo( date('l, F dS Y.') );
?></p>
</body>
</html> |
If you can tell, it just a Date script that is pace in a webpage. It will process from the server side and send out to the client as a HTML page. The end user will not actually see the code above but will see the HTML code instead.
3. Q - Redirect User ....
3. A - I am not sure what exactly you mean be redirecting. Do you mean by the script or from DNS and or NO-IP that suppose to redirect?
4. Q - Have a RoadRunner from your ISP or have a Static IP (uncertain)
4. A - If I remember correctly, RoadRunnder that I know or believe use PoPPE or something similar. This normally I can assume is a typical type of DYNAMIC type that you using to connect to your ISP. Or have a client software to use before you can get connection to surf the NET.
According to your Tread tropic.....
1. Mulitple Website = YES - Your sub site can be place from HTDOCS with a different name other then the INDEX.HTM or ALIAS. Just aslong you point the URL to that file. Either way, the key is to point to the specific HTM or HTML file ... etc..
2. PHP = YES - support on Abyss - You can add it on as module - http://www.aprelium.com/abyssws/php.html
3. NO-IP = YES - you can use NO-IP or similar service.
You can try to repost again in much specific problem so we all can answer your specific issue. Try to make understand what you have like DYNAMIC or STATIC IP and so forth. You can search from other thread regarding Multiple website on a single PC and NO-IP and also PHP.
If you can, PHP manual can help you understand at
http://www.php.net/
PHP related site:
http://www.phpfreaks.com/
The site above also have forum you can ask for more specific information or help regarding PHP scripting.
And as for NO-IP, you can check some tread regarding about it or check in NO-IP.COM site for further information.
Regarding DYNAMIC or STATIC IP, this will need to be answer by your ISP.
HTH or narrow it down abit.
