Page 2 - redhat 9 apache problem

Chief,

Are you trying to reach that address from within your network? If your network is on the same IP address scheme and same netmask it should work, else that is a non routable IP address and cannot be reached from the real world unless it is behind a router and you build port routing tables with the router to allow outside traffic to get to it

Did you put the site in the same directory that has the test page? It will be something like...
/var/www/html

If it is not in the same directory you have to tell apache where the html doc will be. this is done in the httpd.conf file

the file is at the right place just it wont let me view it. its a 403 error i think Forrbiden

What permissions does it have?

do a
chmod 744 file.html

Then try to view it or is it a cgi file?

i still can't even get the apache test page to come up from a networked pc

its a php file

Can you view regular html files?

try to chmod 755 the php file and see what happens? What is the script trying to do. Is it accessing something it should not be?

no files will work

But I thought you said the apache test page worked?

Are you sure your files are in the same directory as the test page

none of my files

Please tell me the exact directory you put you files into - full path

/var/www/ there in there

And in your httpd.conf file what is the path under

DocumentRoot

/ect/httpd/conf/ for the conf files

open your httpd.conf file and look for the DocumentRoot section and there will be a path in there Your docs should be in that path.

Put your files in /var/www/html/ and try them first.
