*In Short:- After fresh installation of apache2 trying to access localhost or 127.0.0.1 is not working
- OS: Ubuntu Gutsy * Hello,This is my first post on the mailing list and I try to write as precisely as possible.
Actual result: -----------------------After installation of Apache when trying to access "localhost" via the browser, it loads for several minutes and then an error msg appears. Ultimately an time out error appears.
What I did: ------------------ - Installed apache2 via synaptic- while installing apache 2 an error msg about a qualified domain name appeared:
///Starting web server apache2 apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
///After some research I figured out that I had to add *ServerName "localhost"* to the apache2.conf - I restarted and restarting apache2 made the error about qualified domain name vanish.
/// # Do NOT add a slash at the end of the directory path. # ServerRoot "/etc/apache2" ServerName "localhost" ///When writing now: "localhost" or "127.0.0.1" as the URL, it didn't show the message "It works".
I recognized, that the /var/www folder did not contain any index file, but the /var/www/apache2-default folder.
Thus I tried the following changes on */etc/apache2/sites-available/default: * 1) Document Root /var/www/apache2-default 2) Directory /var/www/apache2-default 3) removing the # from #RedirectMatch ^/$ /apache2-default/ However, I was not successful. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////Does anybody know how to make accessing localhost work? or point me to some tutorial that is addressing the issue?
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Further research: ------------------------------ Here also the data from the /etc/hosts: 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.1.1 ben-desktop # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters ff02::3 ip6-allhosts the /etc/host.conf contains: # The "order" line is only used by old versions of the C library. order hosts,bind multi on Looking forward to a hint how to access localhost!
