Hi, I'm trying to use my micro 2440 board as a webserver. I'm using default boa server and its working good. The problem is that I can't access the server using the server name. ex: ping 192.168.0.26 - OK ping Micro2440Server - NOK I configure the boa.conf file as: Port 80 User root Group root ErrorLog /dev/null AccessLog /dev/null ServerName Micro2440Server DocumentRoot /www DirectoryIndex index.html KeepAliveMax 1000000 KeepAliveTimeout 100 MimeTypes /etc/mime.types DefaultType text/plain CGIPath /bin SinglePostLimit 8388608 AddType application/x-httpd-cgi cgi The hostname on micro 2440 board is "Micro2440Server": [root@Micro2440Server /]# When I try to use telnet i got: eduardo@eduardo-desktop:~$ telnet Micro2440Server telnet: could not resolve Micro2440Server/telnet: Name or service not known Someone knows how to solve that? Thanks in advance.
Micro 2440 as server
eduardo, Had a chat with one network guy and key words like <name server> and <host table> were mentioned. If that proves unhelpful I can find a network guru to question. Regards, davef
Hallo, if your "eduardo-desktop" is a linux system, you can edit the file: /etc/hosts and add a row: 192.168.0.26 Micro2440Server now your computer will be able to resolve you mini2440 server name. regards Giuseppe
Hi Dave, thanks for your response. The <name server> is configured on boa.conf: "ServerName Micro2440Server" I'll check for this configuration in another file. Thus I'll look for the host table. Anzalon, edit the /etc/hosts is a good idea (I could do that on Windows too), but I'm trying something easier. I don't want to edit several computers. My pc (eduardo-desktop) have a apache server, using the "eduardo-desktop" address on web browser I can access my html pages from another pc. I don't know how it is done, but it works. Maybe by add the name on a DNS server of my network I could solve this issue. I'll check this out and post the result here later. Thanks again for the responses.
