Configuring Drupal with a dynamic IP address I have now a problem with the multisite configuration of Drupal 7 installed on my linux machine.
I want this site to be accessible from outsite from my local machine. For this I have a domain name from no-ip, that redirects the requests to my machine, and a multisite Drupal 7 configuration.
When I check the configuration, I am facing the result below:


I can access the non-drupal sites with no problem from the linux
machine using the mydomain.no-ip.org address.
I can access the drupal sites with no problem from the linux machine using the local network address (192.168.1....).
I CAN'T correctly access the drupal sites (drupalsite1, drupalsite2) from the linux machine using the local network address. This is the problem: I am redirected to the main drupal site, although I request the drupalsite1.


And, for information, I can't access the linux machine from my W7 other machine using the mydomain.no-ip.org address (I have the STB interface). All is right with local addresses.


It seems that Drupal doesn't recognize the specified drupal site I want to get, and then redirects me to the default main drupal site.
Has somebody any idea?
May I get any example of Drupal configuration working with a dynip or no-ip service?

I am quite newbie in D7.

Thanks in advance.
There's no need to use external DNS when working locally on a development box.

You can add the required mapping to your /etc/hosts file

e.g:

127.0.0.1 drupalsite1 drupalsite2 drupalsite3


Then you can access the site by visting, e.g http://drupalsite1 in your browser

You could even use something like

127.0.0.1 drupalsite1.no-ip.org drupalsite2.no-ip.org 


If you'd prefer.

The /etc/hosts file is checked prior to external DNS lookup and will override / take precedence over the latter. There's a similar file in Windows as well.
