1. LAMP server

I've installed LAMP server, as root, by the commands "yum install httpd", "yum install php" and "yum install mysql-server mysql". And I've put a file called index.php in the folder "var/www/html". But I can't connect to the server from another camputer using the IP adress of my server "http://192.168.1.201" which to me seems weird. And I'm pretty sure I've configured the Router correctly. "Default server : 192.168.1.201" and forwarded port 80. And no firewall activated.
So, what might be the problem? (I'm used to Ubuntu 8.10 server edition)

############## DON'T MIND! FIXED IT! ###############
2. SSH server

When I then tried to connect do the server by ssh, using putty in windows (I've installed openssh) that would not connect either. Is there completely different in CentOS 5 from Ubuntu 8.10?
I've made a public key for openssh using ssh-keygen. And still no luck. I've looked through the sshd_config, and everything seems to be good.

Fix : Forgot to "service sshd restart" after changes. That is not the problem with the others though.

3. VSFTPD server

Well, I haven't really gotten to start setting up the ftp server. But I'm used to vsftpd from Ubuntu, and so I thought this might be as good as an equal to the Ubuntu version. But if there is a totally different way of configuring this. Please link a good tutorial for Virtual Users, etc.


Please, if you know of some good tutorials that fits my questions, please link them.

Thank you!

Cheers,

for question 1. try running this will show you all the listening ports. Also are you sure that the service is running. try /etc/init.d/httpd start or /etc/init.d/apache2ctl start one of those should start it.

For question 3. No the setup is pretty much exactly the same. The only difference will be the installation. yum for centOS and apt-get for Ubuntu.

VSFTP: see chap 22 here: http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_boo...ion/index.html

For 1, the exact error message would be better.

Can you connect from the local machine? If you don't have a gui installed, try elinks or similar text based browser, and navigate to http://localhost

For putty, it has its own key generation utility you should use. Again, exact message would help, but are you sure you have port 22 forwarded?

Are you actually saying that this is a virtual machine rather than native?

Edit - puttygen is the putty key generation utility.
