Do a port scan and see if port 80 is open. Also make sure that there is not a firewall running.

i can access webmin from a remote place how do i do a port scan

tangle · 08-26-2003, 09:03 AM

Got www.insecure.org and download nmap. Once downloaded and installed type:
nmap <ip address of server>

That will scan the ports open.
Also at the command line type iptables -L , if a long list goes by then you have iptables (firewall) running.

in your ...conf/httpd.conf file is there a string:

Code:

<Files ~>

?
if so remove and replace it with :

Code:

<Files ~ "^\.ht">

and restart server.

quozt · 08-26-2003, 09:39 AM

i carnt find that string i can post the file fi you want

tangle · 08-26-2003, 09:51 AM

It is usually in the /var/www/htdocs. I think that is is a permission problems or that the index.html in not in the directory that apache look in. Did you change anything in apache?

quozt · 08-26-2003, 11:29 AM

no i found the files...just theres not that code in it
