why is this happening?

[b.trayn]

Hi

sorry 4 the vague subject heading. My problem is this. I purchased new domain and pointed the nameservers to ns1.geodns.net & ns2.geodns.net. The problem is, i can only view the page if i go through proxy server. If i go through without it only shows where domain is parked on port 81. Here is the virtualhost directive i have used.

<VirtualHost 69.44.157.156>
ServerAdmin webmaster@boneidleuk.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/bi
ServerName boneidleuk.com
ServerAlias www.boneidleuk.com
ErrorLog logs/boneidleuk.com-error_log
CustomLog logs/boneidleuk.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>

If someone could check it out by going to the site and see what they get. http://www.boneidleuk.com it is a site i am setting upo for my sons music. hope someone can help. Thx

If it only works when you go through a proxy, it sounds like a local configuation error that is causing the problem, not the server. There could be a bad resolver or the ISP is caching incorrect DNS information.

You should check if it is resolving to the correct IP address from your computer.

resolves just fine for me like QT says it's probably a local dns problem

thx 4 reply guys. If i enter without proxy here is the message i get:

ERROR
The requested URL could not be retrieved

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

While trying to retrieve the URL: http://boneidleuk.com:81/
The following error was encountered:

Connection Failed
The system returned:

(61) Connection refused
The remote host or network may be down. Please try the request again.

Your cache administrator is webmaster.

If however i put in the ip address http://69.44.157.156/bi it logs into the boneidle folder.

I do not know why the :81 port is showing up. I wonder if it could be something to do with the company where i purchased the domain? I have changed the nameservers to my sb server. What else can i do? Thx

Does your error log shed any light?

No obvious errors.

http://boneidleuk.com/ works.
http://boneidleuk.com:81/ does not.

1) Your vhost does not specify what port you want that vhost to be valid for, and as such it will be valid for the default port (80).

2) Is Apache even listening on port 81?

3) Does the firewall allow incoming traffic on port 81?

...or is the whole point that you don't want it to use port 81, but it does anyways? I don't see anything that redirects to port 81.
