Re: [users@httpd] Cannot access my first web app(Resolved)

Thank you Erick:

I knew it was something really easy but I couldn't see it.

Setting in the hosts file my Servername ===> rafael.muneton.com along with the IP address ===> 192.168.1.64  solved the problem.
And now it works just fine and very fast.

Thanks again.
Rafael

When everything fails,  read the instructions!

So something else is listening on port 8080 on some of your interfaces.

Your browser will resolve rafael.muneton.com to an IP adddress,
presumably something other than 192.168.1.64. You could mock up your
/etc/hosts file to resolve it that way.

DNS lookup fails? Hits another webserver?   Connection refused?

That just tells Apache its own name, it doesn't help your browser find
your webserver.
