Hi All

I posted this over on the sickbeard forums as but figure this forum gets alot more traffic so i'd try here as well.

In the interest of making everything easy for the less computer saavy people in the house I am trying to set up Sickbeard etc. to my domain for everyone to access but i'm not sure where to go at this point. Basically right now i can access it from myip:8090 and mydomain.com:8090 but i'd like to set it up so I can type in sickbeard.mydomain.com. any ideas?

For my utorrent I have dyndns setup, dyndns.com (since I don't have a fixed ip from my isp). Alot of modems allow you to directly have dyndns automtically update your ip.

So basically I have whatever.dyndns.com point to myip

Then from my web hosting (in my case hostgator), I just make a subdomain.
subdomain.mywebsite.com and point it to whatever.dyndns.com:(Port number).

And now I can just access my stuff from subdomain.mywebsite.com with fair ease.

Hope that helps, dunno if I overcomplicated it, but works for me Tongue

Add to etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName yoursubdomain.yourdomain.com
ProxyRequests Off
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPass / http://internalip:portnumber/
ProxyPassReverse / http://internalip:portnumber/
<Location />
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Location>
</VirtualHost>

Dont forget to add yoursubdomain.yourdomain.com to the DNS list and use the redirecting serverip as the source.
