Pwnious Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 This is my second time installing Mandriva to a desktop, due to system errors. I can't seem to get Apache running. I know I installes the server. It just that I can't connect to it. http://redtigers.game-server.cc [moved from Installing Mandriva by spinynorman] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 That address is not in my DNS servers lists. That's where the problem lies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qchem Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Have you tried connecting to localhost, that way you can verify if it's an apache error or something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pwnious Posted March 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 (edited) I think it was a connection error. A few minutes before I tried connecting to Apache, I dowloaded all updates. I thought the connection to the internet was ok. So then I tried to connect to the apache from a nearby computer. And it didn't work, so I went back to the Linux computer and tried to go on google it said google.com couldn't be found.... Now I was really confused, because a few min. before that I could download updates. So I decided to reconfigure my network settings, so far Thats what I have done. I will post soon if it works.

ianw1974 Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 First, can you browse it on your local network without problems? Open a browser on the machine running apache, and type http://localhost into the url bar. Does it show the website? If not, problem with apache not running or something similar. If it does show it, then try to connect from a machine on your network, entering the internal ip of this machine. Eg: http://192.168.1.2 if this is the ip of the apache server. Does that work? If it does then internal is fine. Now start troubleshooting externally, and then you should find that it's either due to port redirection or something else which is why it's not working. Check that the ports are opened on the firewall to allow http connections or whatever you're trying to achieve. Make sure port redirection if you're using this is correct and pointing to the apache server. Also make sure that all ports required are open and redirected to this machine.

Pwnious Posted March 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 I can't connect to the internet at all, but htttp://localhost is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Do you have other machines on your internal network? Can they access using the internal ip of the apache server? Eg: http://192.168.0.2 if this is the ip of the apache server. Make sure you do it from another machine, and not on the machine running apache. Forget the external internet testing until you've tested completely inside your LAN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qchem Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 One thing to check, if you're using a router ensure that's forwarding port 80 to the internal IP of your machine running apache. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pwnious Posted March 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Yeah I already done that. Do you think I should just reinstall Mandriva again. I don't have anything on it except for the basic apps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 No, a reinstall is not necessary. You've still not replied to say whether you have checked INTERNAL access from another machine as I have posted twice now. I don't know why I bother to assist if it goes ignored. If you have shorewall running on the apache server, stop it and try to connect to the machine using it's IP address and not localhost, since we've already seen that this works. service shorewall stop and then get on another machine and then enter http://ipaddress_of_apache_machine/ does it work? If it does, then this means that your machine is enable to accept external http requests within your internal network. Now restart shorewall: service shorewall start and check again, does it block it on your internal LAN? If this is so, then shorewall needs to be configured to allow http access or what other ports you want to allow access to. Once you've done that, then move on to checking your router, and that all the ports required on the router are redirecting to your apache machine's ip address.

Pwnious Posted March 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Oh, I have already done that and it didn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 OK, i would suggest you have a problem with the network card in your machine if it will not browse internally across your local network. Can you ping it? Also, on the apache server, type this: netstat -tan and post back what ports it is listening on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
