Help getting DNS Server running

[freshestf]

I'm pretty sure the problem is that port 53 is already used, but I'm wondering if there's a way to make SiriProxy use a different port instead of making my other process(es) use another port. I changed port 443 to 7073 to avoid conflict, but I didn't see where I could change 53. If I can't use a port other than 53, what options do I have to do to get this working?

I'm running on an Ubuntu 12.04 server and followed this guide: http://www.modernhoot.com/157/how-to-install-siriproxy-on-ubuntu-12-10/ up to step 8.

Server:~$ rvmsudo siriproxy server -d 192.168.1.4

Warning: can not check /etc/sudoers for secure_path, falling back to call via /usr/bin/env, this breaks rules from /etc/sudoers. Run:

export rvmsudo_secure_path=1

to avoid the warning, put it in shell initialization file to make it persistent.

In case there is no secure_path in /etc/sudoers. Run:

export rvmsudo_secure_path=0

to avoid the warning, put it in shell initialization file to make it persistent.

I've made a little progress.

I found that port 53 was being used by bind9. I killed the process (sudo kill 1560) to see if it broke anything but everything seemed to work fine so I just went ahead and removed it (sudo apt-get remove bind9). That cleared up port 53 so no conflict should occur now.

I executed export rvmsudo_secure_path=1 as suggested by the warning and now I only get the running as root warning when starting SiriProxy which I'm not concerned with. However, it still doesn't seem to work. I've set my iPhone DNS to 192.168.1.4 and disabled data (so it strictly uses WiFi). When I say "Test Siri Proxy" nothing shows up in my terminal and Siri doesn't give me the expected response.

Any ideas as to what I should check next?

try using port 53 now that you eliminated the conflict?

[freshestf]

Try using port 53 where? I thought SiriProxy used ports 53 AND 443 by
default. Am I wrong and it only uses the single port specified in the
config.yml file?

sorry meant to say use port 443. base on your last post you are using 7073

[freshestf]

Yes, I changed 443 to 7073 to avoid conflict with apache2 (which uses 443).
Is it required that port 443 is used with SiriProxy?

Must be it is required to use 443. I changed the apache2 port and set
SiriProxy to 443 and it works now. Thanks.

I haven't tried it, but here is some info for changing the port number. http://code.google.com/p/heatmiser-wifi/wiki/InstallationSiriProxyHints
