cannot connect to ip of my webserver
 

Hello I just installed a web server on mandrake 10.0
with use of the how-to on linuxloader.org

when I reached page 18 it says that i can access my site with my IP
but I cannot find the site

can u help me??

as root...
if you still can't reach it then check your firewall and allow connections on port 80 and optionally for ssl, port 443

try again, you should get an apache test page.

When I did this it just gives a blank page
my home directory has been set up correctly for as far as i know

you default webroot will be /var/www/html , so populate that directory with your index.html and try.

after i did this i got error Forbidden
how do i set up the permissions of my directories?

Usually a chmod 755 on it will do just fine.

what was the url to the tuturol that u used i tried inuxloader.org but that didnt work. I am trying to set up a webserver also.

I can't remember what tutorial I used initially to run a webserver, was long ago...lol, but here's everything you ever wanted to know about apache ---> http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/tutorials.html

hope that helps,
