Apache help

Ok .. let me start by saying .. i am new at this. just want to get things started.

SO i have linux redhat and i downloaded apache 2.x ...
i installed it and everythign was fine.

The problem i am having is that when i run the httpd .. i can only view my website from my own computer. COmputers on the same router (internal computers) cannot even access my website. it just says there is nothing there.

what i have done....
i said to listen to port 80 and port 650(randonly chosen)

i put the servername as 192.168.1.78 <--
thats my computers internal ip addy ...

but when internal people type in 192.168.1.78 or 192.168.1.78:650 nothing happens.. you get an page cannot be found error ..

anybody got a clue or answer.. thanx

Can you ping that machine from other machines on the network?

When you say that you are viewing the website from the same computer, are you usig localhost or the ip address?

yes i can ping 192.168.1.78 from other computers. and it is successful .. and the way i view my webiste is by typing in http://192.169.1.78:650 on my computer.

try telneting to that ip on port 80 from a remote machine. If a connection is made, then type in anything and hit enter. See if you get a response back.....

have you checked your hosts.allow and hosts.deny files?

First Question? Where did you get port 650 from?? Do you have port 650 configured in the httpd.conf file? By default web runs on port 80.

Second, Do you have Tux Server running also?

Are you sure Apache is running? Do A,


Third, Does anything show up in the logs if so what? Do A,



This will follow the log. Have someone hit the webpage and see what errors if any appear. To exit the follow hit [ctrl]c

Forth, run


Tell me whats in that file

Fifth, Did you install the firewall during installation.

Sixth, Does it work if you turn off tux? do A,


Let me know

Listen. I Tell you what to do. Simply make sure you have a specific file selected when browsing your website. Unless there is an index.php , or index.html, it will show a blank page.
