Connection was refused when trying to contact.........

peman · 08-10-2004, 08:40 AM

Hi
I have installed apache-1.3.31-i486-2 on Slackware 10 and httpd.conf has bind my dns name hmp.no-ip.com to the server but when i try to acces it i get this message: Connection was refused when trying to contact hmp.no-ip.com

I have used chmod 777 /var/www -R

but still the same problem... what is it?

it is not an issue with file permissions.

check iptables if it allows http port.
#iptables -nvL

check if apache is listenening to port 80.
#netstat -an|grep tcp|grep 80

also check apache logs and syslog.

or try to access server by just typing : http://hmp if hmp is the server hostname and you want to connect it in the same network

Tja root, Tue Aug 10, ~ #> iptables -nvL
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination

My httpd.conf is the default file after installing apache and its bind to hmp.no-ip.com and listens to hmp.no-ip.com:80

I had a previous apache installed and i dont know if i successfully uninstalled it, maybe that could be the problem?

sorry for my bad english

try
*:80
instead of
hmp.no-ip.com:80

so apache will listen to all interfaces. dont use domain names like that in httpd.conf. u can use IP addresses instead of domainname.

my httpd.conf:

NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@egemenyazilim.com
DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache2/htdocs
ServerName default
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@egemenyazilim.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/yeni
ServerName egemenyazilim.com
ServerAlias www.egemenyazilim.com
</VirtualHost>
