Yes, the issue was the firewall settings - running 'service iptables stop' disabled the firewall and allowed me to access the server from an external machine.

This will ensure you have the correct Ethernet, IP, subnet and default gateway settings. 2)If 1) is OK, try to do as root on the LAMP server a 'service iptables stop'. Then try to access the web page from the other machine. If it works, the problem has to do with your firewall rules.

Is this something to do with network configuration or the firewall, perhaps? I can't seem to find anything like this online, so any advice as to what settings might be causing this would be greatly appreciated. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
