problems connecting to apache
 

hi

i have an apache server on my linux box, and i am able to connect to the server by typing in my ip address on my linux box it brings up the page telling me that the apache installation was successful.

when i use my windows machine and type in the same ip address i'm not able to connect. is there a setting that i have to do in my linux box to allow other comptuers to connect?

thanks for any help

Are u adding something after the ip number? like:

http://<ip-addy>/index.html.en

Check your htdocs folder and make sure you are pulling a present file when on the windows machine. Kinda simple, but maybe.....

Or it might be some permissions module in httpd.conf.

Does httpd.conf have a "hosts allow" setting?

Also: Does your network work properly with other methods (ping, smb, nfs, etc)

i tried using just my ip address and adding stuff after my ip but both turned up no results on my windows machine

yep...i was pulling up a present file. what kind of permission stuff would i change it my httpd.conf file?

thanks

i have not seen a hosts allow setting

also how do i determine if i can ping or nfs etc....i'm not too good at this stuff
