>A more comfortable way to test your webserver from your commandline is with the curl or wget command (every linux distribution has them, i prefer curl) >So do for example: >curl http://localhost >or >wget http://localhost >on the machine where your apache is running. When I entered "curl http://localhost" I got: curl: (7) socket error: 111 When I entered "wget http://localhost" I got: --10:47:07-- http://localhost/ => `index.html' Resolving localhost... 127.0.0.1 But strangely on this machine there is already another configuration for "web-mycompany-test.com" and it works. :) I did the same configuration but failed. :( >From your earlier posts I get that apache runs, but that the webserver doesn answer connection attempts. That is probably a firewall issue. >Redhat Linux comes with it's own firewall, and it is probably this what is blocking you. You need to enable port 80. I don't have a RH machine available right now to test this, so you'll have to look this up yourself in the documentation. I shut down the firewall with "service iptables stop". I got the same error. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/A-question-about-configuring-Apache-Http-Server-tp25382056p25397353.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.
