Re: httpd 2.2.8 not responding to client requests

[Paul Doubek <pdoubek@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well... thanks for the input... it was the firewall after all. I had 
used the GUI to "disable" it but it must have still been running. I 
edited the /etc/sysconfig/iptables files per another article I found and 
bounced the server... still didn't work. I finally went back into the 
GUI Firewall admin tool, enabled the firewall, and told it to pass 
traffic for ports 80 and 443. Now I can hit the web server from both the 
SuSE and WinXP boxes. I guess it won't hurt to have a firewall on this 
machine, but since it's only a development server and it's sitting 
behind my Internet firewall I intended to get the Fedora firewall out of 
the way.

Thanks again, Morgan, for the advice.
