Using Apache 2 with Redhat 9

slidermx · 08-25-2003, 06:41 PM

I'm using redhat 9 and I tried to install Apache 2.0. Apparently the installation was successful. If I type localhost or my IP address from address bar in the web browser, I can see the webpage saying Congratulations!, If you can see this page, your apache installations was successful.

But if I tried to see the same IP address or using the host name from another computer, I can't see it.

Any idea?

Make sure your not blocking port 80 with a firewall or such.

I'm sure is not blocked, actually I think I'm omitting something into the configuration. I installed redhat in other computer and I had the same result.

Have you started it? How did you intall it?

RPM:
service httpd restart

Source:
apachectl restart

I had a few problems like that before I configured the "ServerName" variable in "/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf".

Anyway, check if Apache is really running:
service httpd status

If you have more than one NIC be carefull to which NIC Apache is binded to.

Hope it helps

Now is running. The problem was in the firewall setup. When I installed Linux, a screen for the firewall setup appeared and by default, DHCP was check.

So, thnx anyway.
