able to ping, but can't access the server from another computer
I have installed apache2 so I can visit a test page test.html by typing http://localhost/test.html or http://128.xxx.xxx.xxx/test.html without any problem.
However, if I try to access the test page from the other computer, then it says no page is found. I can ping that 128.xxx.xxx.xxx ip address from other computer, but I just cann't access http://128.xxx.xxx.xxx/test.html.
can you tell more about the errors ? and what happened when you typed the command
service iptables stop
try a gain!!!!!!
and if it is still unsuccessful you add the command
chmod 755 /...../index.html
I guess I know what you mean. You're afraid that the other computer not have permission to read the test.html file?
Let me try it again.
By the way, what's 755 means?
How can I change the permission to the whole folder?
