Hi, could you narrow down your problem?

Is there firewall ruleset for a webserver?

Is the webserver functional from the lan?

Can you ping www.your-website.tld?

Habitual 12-11-2013 07:35 AM
A Record of the free domain point to your static IP address?

i can access my webserver via lan. after turning off the Iptables firewall.

now. i forwarded port 80 to the server that i setted up. Upon entering the address on the address bar. it only says, waiting for example.com on the bottom left of the webpage. and i also tried to telnet it and i can connect via port 80. is there a problem with my httpd.conf?

Hi, it seems you are really set to get your webpage up and out! Can you provide output from these commands?
Code:
service httpd status
...or
systemctl status httpd.service
...or
/etc/init.d/httpd status
Or from the UI's toolbar find the service for your webserver and check for those red/grn blips.

Yes its silly but your service may not be active! Once I know you have the service on then you can post config files, but please start with a simple testpage display before trying to send out a large config file, hmm.

What does the access logs says in this regards ?
Do the logs confirms that the request coming to the web server ? If yes how they are getting rejected ?
What firewall settings do you have ?
Is your Domain to IP (DNS) is correctly setup to resolve when the request raised with the Domain ?

Then my first question should be :
Code:
lsof -i:80
or
# netstat -tlupn| grep 80
what webserver are you using ?

Code:
dig -x [your_webserver_ip]
Is your DNS points to your server IP ?

EDIT (ok i didnt saw the above comment): in case of apache
apache access logs should be at /var/log/httpd so as the error logs.

nickn0ck123 12-13-2013 02:21 AM
Im not so sure if the problem is my firewall. i have done forwarding ports here before but now its not working again. i dont know hows that posible but i didnt change any of my confguration. this is frustrating. hehehe

I don't know about Endian, but some firewalls doesn't automatically open a port when you create a NAT-rule (=port forward).
So check your firewall rules, is port 80 open from WAN?
Also please answer SAbhi's questions.

here is the result of the netstat
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 3325/httpd

its open right? this is on the firewall side.

my DNS on my server is google 8.8.8.8

on my domain cpanel. i pointed my static IP address to the domain. this is the right thing to do right? and then. on my firewall i forwarder port80 to my server's Ip address.

i dont know if the firewall is ahving a problem or my server is just not functioning right.

Thats what i am asking how did you made your ip pointed out to the dns ? (i was expecting dig's output in my previous comment)
Sorry but untill adn unless you provide me with sufficient info i cant help. i asked for logs too and still not provided.

When you successfully telnet to port 80, what prompts or messages do you get? Are you sure this telnet goes to your server or is answered by some other server?
Same question when you run telnet localhost 80 on the server in question.

On my system, this is what happens when I run telnet on the server:
Code:
# telnet 192.168.1.5 80
Trying 192.168.1.5...
Connected to 192.168.1.5.
Escape character is '^]'.
blabla
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">

<title>501 Method Not Implemented</title>

<h1>Method Not Implemented</h1>
<p>blabla to / not supported.<br />

<hr>
<address>Apache/2.2.15 (CentOS) Server at athlon64/192.168.1.5 Port 80</address>
</body></html>
Connection closed by foreign host.
The "blabla" string is my input, the lines after it come from httpd. You can customise the identification line (<address>) using ServerName in the config file.

This telnet session generated an entry [error] [client 192.168.1.5] Invalid method in request blabla in the error log /etc/httpd/logs/error_log.
