FC3 web server problems

[gramirez2012]

Hi,

I currently have FC3 (no wise cracks please! ) set up with a basic web server install of HTTPD (Apache I believe), PHP, MySQL, FTP, and Mail. The httpd is loaded at bootup, and when I type in the server's local IP address ON the server's Firefox browser, I get the default http page. However, if I type in the domain which I have set up (port forwarding is configured), it doesn't connect.

Workstations in the Intranet cannot get anything out of the server. I assume that internet users can't access it either.

I consider myself very ignorant when it comes to linux, so I'm hoping there's an easy fix. It's been a while since I've dealt with this stuff, as I've always done webservers on the Mac platform.

Thanks in advance!

Are users in the intranet hitting the server by hostname or IP address?

[gramirez2012]

Both the domain name, as well as local IP address, if that's what you mean.

What's the output of the following commands:

tail /var/log/httpd/error_log

tail /var/log/httpd/access_log

Also, I would stop IPTABLES while you troubleshoot:

service iptables stop

[djvaporz]

try looking in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf for this entry
#ServerName localhost:80

replace localhost with your FQDN, make sure it is uncommented, and restart apache

/sbin/server httpd restart

/sbin/server httpd restart

didn't work. does it just need to be the domain (something.com), or is the http:// and port # required too?

Try:

su -
service network restart
service httpd restart
ifconfig
hostname

[gramirez2012]

ifconfig outputs:

hostname outputs to domain name.

AHA! I fixed the problem! It turns out that security was blocking the HTTP port.

Now I would like to add FTP capabilities to the server as well. What's the easiest method for doing so?

Thanks for your help, everyone!

You meant iptables blocked your port 80? Thought you had iptables off.
Try:

su -
iptables --list
service httpd status
service vsftpd status
