[SOLVED] sites gets downloaded and is not accessible

jamesbon · 02-04-2011, 12:18 PM

I used vmware to create a guest OS in vmware.The IP of Guest Ubuntu is 192.168.43.129 and that of host Ubuntu is 192.168.1.3

Here is apache log when I access the site on machine where it actually is (guest os) as http://localhost

the apache log shows

Quote:

127.0.0.1 - - [04/Feb/2011:22:18:29 +0530] "GET /some/templates/default/images/ButtonsBack.gif HTTP/1.1" 304 - "http://localhost/some/templates/default/delos.css" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.8) Gecko/2009033100 Ubuntu/9.04 (jaunty) Firefox/3.0.8"

but if I try to access site from host Ubuntu in browser as http:////192.168.43.129/some/

I do not see any entry in /var/log/apache2/access.log .
I checked

Quote:

telnet 192.168.43.129 80

it was perfectly working.So at least port 80 of guest is not blocked I am assured of this situation.What more do I need to check here is my vhost (on guest os ) configuration.

Quote:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all

</Directory>

ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log

# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel warn

CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined

</VirtualHost>

what can I check?

Try fixing your ServerName variable in httpd.conf. You currently have 'localhost', so I believe your virtual host is not responding to the request header sent by the client machine when the IP address is used. This is also why it works properly when using localhost.

Ok I have no clue as what worked.Here is my new Apache configuration under which this is working.

Quote:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>

ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log

LogLevel warn

CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined

</VirtualHost>

This one is working perfectly.
