apache 1.3.27
 

Me and my friends have been stumped for a few days now...I installed apache 1.3.27 awhile ago and a few days ago my box went crazy and apache just stopped working! I called my ISP and they said "It should work just fine! we allow people to have web servers!" and my buddies and i have no clue what could be wrong...do any of you people out there know??

Well, it might not just be running. Have you checked to see if it is ?

Perform a ps -aux or top to see running processes and look for httpd processes running.

Some commands to use if its not or to try and restart, stop, start.. etc..

As root of course:

/usr/sbin/apachectl restart
/usr/sbin/apachectl stop
/usr/sbin/apache start

Yeah its running...another thing i forgot to say is that when my friend pinged me...it said 100% packet loss

Are you behind some sort of firewall or router ? If so have you forwarded port 80 to your IP address ? Let us know !

wow im forgetting to say lots of stuff...yes im behind a firewall but i allow HTTP and SSH traffic through

Well if your behind a router and your friend is outside of your home network, probably pings are denied so he won't be able to ping you.
Do you have another computer on your network, can it ping your host your running the web server on ?
What happens if you type your IP for your web server in a browser window ? Does it fail ?

Do you mind giving out the IP, maybe we can see if we can't get to it as well ? Are you trying to use a hostname or anything, domain name ?

Well i didnt realize this but i just figured out that my internal IP addresses got switched for some reason....so it works now...thanks for your help
