Playground is setup.

Web March 27th, 2006

The ECE Lab upgraded the computing fascilibites recently, and they dumped all the old computers in the hall way, free to pickup. Last week, I digged into them and managed to collect components from different computers and put them togeter for only one Dell OptiPlex workstation:

  • Pentium-III 1.0GHz
  • 512M PC133 SDRAM
  • 13G Harddisk
  • CD-Writer
  • Zip

I would like to setup this Linux box as my private playground for Zope 3 and Plone.

  • emerge Gentoo
  • emerge Zope, Plone
  • Setup the router to forward the port 80 to this linux box
  • Register one FreeDNS service, and leave the dynIP in the crontab.
  • In DreamHost “Domain Management” tab, forward “http://playground.kunxi.org” to “kunxi.mooo.com”.
  • Wait for about 2-3 hours, and direct your favorite to playground.kunxi.org.

Here is still one problem. Whenever playground.kunxi.org is accessed, it is eventually redirected to kunxi.mooo.com. Is any way to hide the intermediate dynamic domain?
