Need HELP ASAP!!!!!
Our website is down and we need a Linux guru to help fix it. I know this might not be the best place to post, but we're running out of options. Please contact adamgedde at hotmail dot com for details.

Why don't you post your problems? And this forum is for questions for THIS website, linuxquestions.org, not websites in general.

Dangle some $$ in front of people and they'll usually respond quicker. Posted it here because frankly, we're in a big bind.
Ok - here's the problem. Our web server doesn't work. There were changes made to the iptable to affect ftp only, and after restarting the server last night, nothing works. Absolutely NOTHING. There's nothing in the hosts.allow file...hosts.deny file, and the iptables are empty (which i understand to mean that basically every service/port on the machine is now open). There are three machines on the network. One firewall, one dns, and one www. can ssh to the firewall, but cannot ssh to the dns or www. No changes have been made to the dns machine. Thoughts? |
Are you sure nothing is blocking in the firewall setup? It would surely seem that way from what you describe. What's the errors when you try to connect or view a webpage? Your output for iptables, etc? More details, gets better responses.

Can you post eh output of:
iptables -L A quick fix to try is: iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT iptables -F |
iptables have already been flushed.
|
Does that mean that they don;t have a default policy of deny? fluching does not change this.
A few more things to look for: 1) Are the services listening: netstat -nlp 2) Can you ping the machines? 2.1) Is the conenction OK - check physical links and link lights 2.2) Is the ethernet device up: ifconfig |
can get into the machines locally - i.e. lynx localhost.
I do not get a response when pinging the machine from my location, though the DNS records are pointed at the right machine. don't know about the connections - I'm not in front of the physical machine. i was told that they were functioning. can't even get in on ssh to see what's wrong, though i can get in to another machine on that network, specifically the firewall. |
Sorry if this seems like a daft question but if you can't get to the machine then how do you know that there are no firewall rules in place?

I've seen the firewall rules that were in place on the machine in question prior to this incident, and have had a contact person sitting in front of the physical machine.

have them check those default policies again, you should see this:
Code:
#iptables -L and if by some off chance you have Bellsouth DSL, i cant connect to my box remotely either anymore :( |
