Sorry for the late reply. I am from Germany. As you replied my question I was out of office. :) Now return to your answer: >Ok, let's start from there. >First, let's see if Apache is running. >When you enter the following command : >netstat -pan | grep '\:80' >it should at least show one line. That line corresponds to the port on which Apache should be listening. Toward the end of the line, should be the name of the program, and it's Process-ID. Yes, I got the line which shows the Apache is listening. tcp 0 0 172.23.17.8:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 21625/httpd >You call also try either one of those : >ps -ef | grep httpd >or >ps -ef | grep apache I tried both and got a long list such as following: ... root 21625 1 0 Sep10 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/httpd apache 21628 21625 0 Sep10 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/httpd apache 21629 21625 0 Sep10 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/httpd apache 21630 21625 0 Sep10 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/httpd ... I think this means the Apache is running. >Once you make sure that there is an Apache running, then you could try the following : >enter the command : >telnet web-mycompany.com 80 >GET / HTTP/1.0 >(the second line above, you have to enter "blind", because there will be no echo; the third line is just a "return") >Do you get something ? I got followings: -bash: GET: command not found But what do you mean "blind" to the second line? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/A-question-about-configuring-Apache-Http-Server-tp25382056p25396048.html Sent from the Apache HTTP Server - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
