[users@httpd] Networking problem?
Hi,
I am trying to run Apache web server on my Redhat
Linux machine. I just installed and configured Apache
httpd-2.0.54, and entered "http://localhost" on my
browser (Mozilla). I was able to see "If you can see
this, it means the installation ... was successful."
However, when I went to another machine (a PC), and
entered http://(myhostname)/example.html, I could not
display the file on the PC. It just kept
processing....
I have modified /etc/xinetd.conf to include "service
http", and modified /etc/hosts.allow to add "http
myPCIPaddress", but it did not help.
I think it's networking problem, but I don't know what
else to do. (I can ping from PC to Linux).
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe

Use the IP address of the other machine instead of the hostname. If
that works, then you have a DNS problem. In that case, add your other
machine to the 'hosts' file, or set up a DNS server.

That'll cause trouble (if it does anything at all). Don't do it.

Do you have a firewall running on the RH machine?

I forgot to mention that I don't have /etc/named.conf
on my Linux machine (even though I have
/etc/resolv.conf). Is that OK?
Thanks,
Joe

Thank you, all, for trying to help me.
I tried http://(ipaddress)/example.html on my Windows
PC, but still could not get example.html from my Linux
machine running Apache web server.
I also did:
- modified /etc/hosts on the Linux machine to have the
entry for my Windows PC
- ping from Linux to Windows using hostname without a
problem
- checked /etc/resolv.conf on Linux, it has a valid
DNS nameserver
- deleted "service http" entry in /etc/xinetd.conf in
Linux
but still not working.
On the Linux machine, I could do
file://hostname/example.html
but I could not do
http://hostname/example.html
it says "Not Found. The requested URL /example.html
was not found on this server. Apache/2.0.54 (Unix)
Server at (hostname) Port 80"
Thank you again.
Joe

(yourhostname) does not exist in DNS, apparently. If he's on a Windows
machine, he needs to edit lmhosts and "fake" it. If he's in Linux, you
can modify /etc/hosts and designate that shorthand hostname to an IP,
which would work.
Either that, or modify an existing local DNS server, if you're really
serious about it ;)
