Hello All,

I have built a CentOS server, as many times before, and have has to move it to a new location/network. I had changed the virtual site that was configured with a virtual ip address on the same nic. I have since removed the virtual nic, checked my host files and network files and nothing now has the old ip address. I had issues I believed caused by dns or ip address so I finally uninstalled Apache. Reinstalled it. I still cannot access the site that was there. I have cleared all the data I can from the Firefox browser such as histoy. However when I go to "http://localhost" it says it cannot connect to the old ip address. WHERE IS THAT BEING SENT FROM??? It's driving me crazy. I really don't want to rebuild the server as there are other things that took some time to get configured. Thanks,jeff

You'll need to provide a bit more info ..

- content of /etc/hosts
- 'ip addr' output
- httpd config

cheers

Thanks kbp,

Below are the files and ifconfig return.I have had to remove some lines from the httpd.config file as it exeeds the line limit for the forum. If you have another suggestion to break the file into pieces let me know.

Thanks again, jeff

# Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) Support
#
# To be able to use the functionality of a module which was built as a DSO you

# Statically compiled modules (those listed by `httpd -l') do not need
# to be loaded here.
#

### Section 2: 'Main' server configuration
#
# The directives in this section set up the values used by the 'main'
# server, which responds to any requests that aren't handled by a
# <VirtualHost> definition. These values also provide defaults for
# any <VirtualHost> containers you may define later in the file.
#
# All of these directives may appear inside <VirtualHost> containers,
# in which case these default settings will be overridden for the
# virtual host being defined.
#

#
# ServerAdmin: Your address, where problems with the server should be
# e-mailed. This address appears on some server-generated pages, such
# as error documents. e.g. admin@your-domain.com
#
ServerAdmin root@localhost

#
# ServerName gives the name and port that the server uses to identify itself.
# This can often be determined automatically, but we recommend you specify
# it explicitly to prevent problems during startup.
#
# If this is not set to valid DNS name for your host, server-generated
# redirections will not work. See also the UseCanonicalName directive.
#
# If your host doesn't have a registered DNS name, enter its IP address here.
# You will have to access it by its address anyway, and this will make
# redirections work in a sensible way.
#
#ServerName www.example.com:80

#
# UseCanonicalName: Determines how Apache constructs self-referencing
# URLs and the SERVER_NAME and SERVER_PORT variables.
# When set "Off", Apache will use the Hostname and Port supplied
# by the client. When set "On", Apache will use the value of the
# ServerName directive.
#

### Section 3: Virtual Hosts
#
# VirtualHost: If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on your
# machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them. Most configurations
# use only name-based virtual hosts so the server doesn't need to worry about
# IP addresses. This is indicated by the asterisks in the directives below.
#
# Please see the documentation at
# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/>
# for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts.
#
# You may use the command line option '-S' to verify your virtual host
# configuration.

#
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#
#NameVirtualHost *:80
#
# NOTE: NameVirtualHost cannot be used without a port specifier
# (e.g. :80) if mod_ssl is being used, due to the nature of the
# SSL protocol.
#

#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known
# server name.
#
#<VirtualHost *:80>
# ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com
# DocumentRoot /www/docs/dummy-host.example.com
# ServerName dummy-host.example.com
# ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
# CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
#</VirtualHost>

Just attach the httpd config as a text file .. we're probably missing the important part

Sorry for being so inept,

Hi Jeff,

I'm guessing the extra site was added as a vhost under /etc/httpd/conf.d .. could you please check those files and see if you have any vhost configurations ?

I see no files that contain vhost or anything that looks like a virtual host file. The files look normal and I did open each and found no mention of the old ip address, or any ip address at all.

What is the output from:

find /etc -type f -exec grep -il "old_ip_address" {} \;

replace old_ip_address obviously with your old ip address

I entered the command line using the old ip address and it returned nothing

I have run a grep from root for the last octet of the ip address

But I am not sure if this means anything.

Is Apache running and listening? Is iptables running, possibly blocking something? What do the following give you:

netstat -l

iptables -L

Also what about DNS? It is possible there is actually an entry on a local DNS server pointing to the old server IP as an attempt to fix some problem.

Yeah, apache is up and listening. I have all firewalls turned off. The output of the commands are below. Thanks,jeff:
