web server works on internet but not on LAN
web server works on internet but not on LAN
Hello Everyone
I have configured web server. it works perfectly on internet but it does not open websites when i tried to open them from the same network on which server is configured E.g webserver is on IP 192.168.1.4 but when i tried to access hosted website on the same computer(server) it asked for username and password, i do not why. Even i tried to access it from another pc IP 192.168.1.8 of the same network. There was no result.
When i used browserstack website to test my website hosted on my server with the help of virtual machine interface provided by browser stack it was working smoothly.
i even allowed outgoing traffic for port 80 but still it is not working :(
Please help me to resolve this problem :)
Thanks

Re: web server works on internet but not on LAN
Have you try something like ping your IP? It's worked? Then telnet may be?
Re: web server works on internet but not on LAN
yes when i pinged my webserver ip (192.168.1.4) from another machine( 192.168.1.8 ) i got reply from both sides.
when my hosted website can work on internet why it does not work on the same server machine, it is bit confusing
it is like whole world can access my websites exclude me

Re: web server works on internet but not on LAN
And when you make telnet on port 80 from local network, you get positive response?

Method 1:
telnet 192.168.1.4
i got error related to port 23
Method 2:
telnet 192.168.1.4 80

Re: web server works on internet but not on LAN
let me guess. u host website on internal ip and forward ports from outside to inside via router right ?
so if u type ip_of_ur_server in browser what u get?
can u logged into your panel on your internal ip?
did u allow access in firewall from your lan subnet?

Re: web server works on internet but not on LAN
everything was working fine expect LAN. yes, i was able to access the vesta control panel with internal ip. Moreover, i have already allowed all the traffic by making changes to firewalls. only the problem was i was not able to access my hosted websites on LAN which were working fine on WAN.
But the good thing is i have got the solution and i implemented it and it WORKS. Actually it was all due to internal DNS because when i was accessing websites from WAN it resolves the domain name to ip by using dns of my domain name service provider but in LAN it was not able to resolve due to lack of records. So i just added dns records to etc/hosts and it is working.
another LAN machines are also able to open websites just by adding dns ip to them.
Thankyou armandino & skurudo
