Cant access my hosted website
Hi sir, I am having trouble accessing the webserver that i setted up. i have a free domain at dot.tk and i have a static ip address over my ISP i already forwarded port80 over my server's Ip address. but still i am having trouble. web page is not available.
Please help me here. i want to host our website over here so that we dont pay for webhosting.. Thank you for your response. |
Hi, could you narrow down your problem?
Is there firewall ruleset for a webserver? Is the webserver functional from the lan? Can you ping www.your-website.tld? |
A Record of the free domain point to your static IP address?
|
i can access my webserver via lan. after turning off the Iptables firewall.
now. i forwarded port 80 to the server that i setted up. Upon entering the address on the address bar. it only says, waiting for example.com on the bottom left of the webpage. and i also tried to telnet it and i can connect via port 80. is there a problem with my httpd.conf? |
how can i make my website to be browseable in the internet. i have created a domain at dot.tk and and added hostname to my Static IP ADDRESS. the webpage only says waiting for reply. on my firewall i forwarded the port 80 to the ip address of my server. Im kinda stuck to this situation. could anyone please help me? thanks..

Hi, it seems you are really set to get your webpage up and out! Can you provide output from these commands?
Code:
service httpd status Yes its silly but your service may not be active! Once I know you have the service on then you can post config files, but please start with a simple testpage display before trying to send out a large config file, hmm. |
What does the access logs says in this regards ?
Do the logs confirms that the request coming to the web server ? If yes how they are getting rejected ? What firewall settings do you have ? Is your Domain to IP (DNS) is correctly setup to resolve when the request raised with the Domain ? |

Code:
lsof -i:80 Code:
dig -x [your_webserver_ip] EDIT (ok i didnt saw the above comment): in case of apache apache access logs should be at /var/log/httpd so as the error logs. |
Im not so sure if the problem is my firewall. i have done forwarding ports here before but now its not working again. i dont know hows that posible but i didnt change any of my confguration. this is frustrating. hehehe

I don't know about Endian, but some firewalls doesn't automatically open a port when you create a NAT-rule (=port forward).
So check your firewall rules, is port 80 open from WAN? Also please answer SAbhi's questions. |

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 3325/httpd its open right? this is on the firewall side. my DNS on my server is google 8.8.8.8 on my domain cpanel. i pointed my static IP address to the domain. this is the right thing to do right? and then. on my firewall i forwarder port80 to my server's Ip address. i dont know if the firewall is ahving a problem or my server is just not functioning right. |

Same question when you run telnet localhost 80 on the server in question. On my system, this is what happens when I run telnet on the server: Code:
# telnet 192.168.1.5 80 This telnet session generated an entry [error] [client 192.168.1.5] Invalid method in request blabla in the error log /etc/httpd/logs/error_log. |
