santner Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 I recently upgraded on one of my systems to the latest Fedora Core release, now my http and ftp servers don't work. I am using apache and proftpd. I can ping everything fine and I DID NOT change any of my router settings. This happened immediately after the upgrade. I tried disabling the software firewall and it did not help. It's as if the servers are never seeing the requests coming in. I am stumped and am desperately looking for ideas...please [moved from Software by spinynorman] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aioshin Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 check for the config file, might be that your fc3 old config file became http.conf.rpmsave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santner Posted July 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 Good idea, but it did not move it. httpd.conf.rpmnew is just some standard config file they gave, it did not mess with my httpd.conf file at all. Something else that is noteworthy is that all of my servers are down....http - ftp and nfs?!? I would appreciate any advice, I really need help!

scarecrow Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 Isn't it rather "httpd.conf-something"? (although almost sure that Aioshin is right here). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santner Posted July 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 Unless they have changed it I am pretty sure that it is httpd.conf - wouldn't be the first time I have been wrong though :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santner Posted July 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 Is there some way to track a packet? For example, what if I sent a packet from my first computer to my second, is there any way to see if it make it past my router into my computer? At least that way I could determine if it is the linksys router or the computer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santner Posted July 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 More information....If I use the actual ip address then I can access my website. However if I use the domain name then nothing. I currently use dnsexit to update my ip address because I do not have a static ip - kind of cheating in that regard. I have never had trouble with it before though - they provide a perl script to update your ip every ten minutes. Does this bring anything to mind?

Qchem Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Does the perl script reside on your machine? Is it still there? Does it run correctly? (Sorry for the dumb questions) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santner Posted August 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 It does reside on my machine, it does exist and after running the script it states that the update was successful. How reliable that is I guess is the real question. ok, now I am completely confused. I just checked my website and it is up and running. I need to do some research to find out exactly what is going on. On my router I changed from UPnP to port forwarding (although they sound identical in the linksys descriptions)...other than that I didn't change anything else. I'll post back if I get lucky enough to pinpoint the exact problem. Any advice on the difference between UPnP and port forwarding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qchem Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 I didn't know what UPnP was before you mentioned it, it's Universal Plug and Play. I found a website detailing it. The word microsoft splashed here and there suggests this may not be as universal as it should be , but it seemed like it worked for you.
