[TriLUG] Gallery Problems

[Randall Barlow]

So I've narrowed the problem down to a network problem that has nothing 
to do with gallery.  It turns out that the 404 not found's that I was 
randomly seeing were from the Clark Connect box that we use as our 
router in the house and not from the Gentoo system that is running 
Gallery.  I noticed that the 404 errors had a different version of 
Apache listed at the bottom and nothing about ssl or php, which is what 
clued me in.  So I turned off Apache on the Clark Connect box, and then 
I always got a window that said that the host refused the connection 
when I tried to access Gallery from inside our network.  Gallery worked 
just fine from the outside (I had Clark Connect set to forward port 80 
to this machine). 

So, the problem turned out to be that we had a name in our Clark Connect 
setup called gateway.hamlettcorp.com that was set to our Clark Connect 
box.  When we tried to ping www.hamlettcorp.com from the inside, it 
would resolve to the Clark Connect box's internal IP and not my 
machine.  When we removed this entry, everything seemed to work.  I'm 
keeping my fingers crossed, but that seems to have been the problem...

Thanks,
Randy
