apache web server

sajith · 04-29-2007, 09:49 AM

sir,

i have installed apache web server on fedoa core 5.

when i type http://localost in browser it will display the apache test page. same will get when typing htpp://127.0.0.1 also.

But when i type http://192.168.1.222 (my ip address ) it will not display the test page .

it will give following error.

connection failed

113

no route to host.

anybody can help me solve this problem.

The same problem will occur when i tried with ubuntu 6.10 also

please help me to fix this problem.

That's probably because it has been installed as a virtual host with it's ip linked to localhost / 127.0.0.1 (both are the same just typed in another way).

To test if it works, you should make a virtual host for your network ip.

Do you have an entry for your host in /etc/hosts of the form

Code:

192.168.1.222     name.domain name

Where name is your system's name (in /etc/HOSTNAME, probably) and domain is the domain name you applied; e.g., .com, .net, .org, etc.

Also, do you have, in intet1.conf (wherever it is in your startup files) setting

Code:

# Config information for eth0:
IPADDR[0]="192.168.1.222"
NETMASK[0]="255.255.255.0"
USE_DHCP[0]=""
DHCP_HOSTNAME[0]=""
...
# Default gateway IP address:
GATEWAY="192.168.1.1"

The above may vary depending on how you're configured (fixed IP versus DHCP, say), but generally those entries have to exist for Apache to know what it needs.

Also, you need an entry in httpd.conf (in Apache's conf directory) similar to

Code:

#ServerName www.example.com:80
ServerName name.doman:80

Check httpd.conf to see that your apache is listening on all your purpose ip address or listening on all the ip of the system.
Such as below.

Quote:

Listen 0.0.0.0:80 #This is for all ip
or
Listen 192.168.1.222:80 #For one ip, which you can add another ip to meet you need

Or first you can just check what ips and ports are listening now by issue the command 'netstat -na|grep tcp'.
