It was because I had it in my hosts file. I had to remove it from my hosts file at home so I could access it externally.

I got the A record added on my public DNS host and I can reach owncloud externally using the domain name.

Im in the office now and i cant access it internally by hostname. I have an A record in internal DNS and there is nothing in my host file.

When I ping the domain name it fails cause its looking for the public IP address now. Does that mean hairpin routing isnt working?

@scottalanmiller If its not my web host then it must be Windstream

I added the A record in the place cPanel provided. Our website is hosted

as our website? No

http://IPADDRESS/owncloud works

It resolves internally

So internal is fully working? If so, we are nearly there.

Yes, it resolves the name internally

It resolves internally

Did you put in the local IP in your local DNS?

This is very important, you can't skip this step.

He also never stated that he fixed his ownCloud config.php either. I listed 3 clear steps. He said he did step 3.

I fixed it

Port forwarding is working. Thank you.

I added an A record on my public DNS host pointing back to the public IP. How long until it goes into effect?

You should never rely on NAT Hairpinning

Yes

Yes

Port forwarding is working. Thank you.

Thanks for all your help Jared and thanks for the setup instructions.

I just did a clean install of CentOS and setup virtual hosts as described in this document. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-apache-virtual-hosts-on-centos-7
I did not change any ports. I restarted Apache and I still get this

then added port 80 to firewalld

@coliver i changed the listen port from 8080 to 80 as it everyone asked why I didnt leave it on 80

I followed the directions in https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-apache-virtual-hosts-on-centos-7
now apache wont start
any ideas?

@coliver pattern not found

is this what i need to follow? https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-apache-virtual-hosts-on-centos-7

Is that the whole file? If that is the case then the virtualhost configurations are probably in their own location under /etc/httpd.

What text editor are you using?

VI

contents of /etc/httpd
