Problem getting Apache Working

Arty Ziff · 01-26-2009, 11:01 PM

I've got two servers, Old Server and New Server.

While setting up New Server, I had Apache listening on port 4080 so I could get everything working before bringing down Old Server.

Everything seemed to work great, Web pages served fine at (for example) TestSite.com:4080 on New Server, while Old Server continued to work fine on port 80.

I stopped Apache on Old Server, and configured New Server to start listening on port 80 instead of port 4080, and started Apache on New Server.

But I'm getting this error from FireFox:

Quote:

Connection Interrupted

The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

The network link was interrupted while negotiating a connection. Please try again.

What am I doing wrong?

I don't see anything in /etc/httpd/logs/error_log

First, can you explain what you're talking about with 'old server' and 'new server'? Are you/were you running two different Apache httpd installations on the same physical box? Is this referring to virtualhosts? Or what?

Second, for 'new server' post the results of:
# grep '80' httpd.conf

I'm curious to see if you may have forgotten to update the ServerName directive when you updated the Listen directive.

Two different physical server boxes on the same network running (of course) two different Apache servers.

But yes, you're right, overlooked Listen in new box / server. I feel stupid!

Thanks for your time, though.
