Hi george,

Basically, you only need to modify httpd.conf and
commonhttpd.conf located at /etc/httpd/conf: With your
favorite text editor just make sure you get this or
add it:

To /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

ServerType standalone
ServerRoot /etc/httpd/2.0
DocumentRoot /whereyou/got/yoursite/files (usually
/var/www/something)

To /etc/httpd/conf/commonhttpd.conf 

User apache (or whatever user you like to run apache
under, customary apache)

Group apache (or whatever group you like to run apache
under, customary apache)

ServerAdmin your@mail.com (this is for people to know
whats the webmaster´s mail)

There´s a section that looks like this:

#
#  This should be changed to whatever you set
DocumentRoot to
#
<Directory /var/www/yoursitefiles>

I think that´s it, but i should warn you that this is
the very basic configuration but for making it work
its ok.

Hope it works.
Javier

Were you able to telnet to the IP that represents the Linux box?

  Well, this is for the Apache but I would be more interested about the Linux files setup, it seems like it is the Linux setup that does not allow any communication even I can ping the Linux box.
  Thanks,
  george

Posted by "David P. Donahue" <dd...@ccs.neu.edu>.
Perhaps you need to edit your /etc/hosts.allow file?  Some Linux distros
automatically put "ALL:ALL" in /etc/hosts.deny which would block all
traffic unless otherwise specified (which is a good idea).  If this is
the case, putting "httpd:ALL" in /etc/hosts.allow would allow people to
access Apache.
