Problem with Apache Webserver

[kkrumlia]

Hi everybody

I downloaded Apache Webserver 2.0.44 installed it but for some reason nobody can see the webpages being served. If i put my own ip address in the browser i can see the pages but when i give the address to anybody else it just doesn't work "page cannot be displayed". I changed the listen ports to

Listen 12.34.56.78:8080
Listen 8080

just to make sure it's not a port 80 problem but still the problem persists. THis is my server name

ServerName 134.254.169.72:80 //tried to put 8080 nothing

So I'm just wondering if anybody has faced this problem What am i doing wrong , Thank you all

One of the first places to look is the logs (access log and error log) for your server.

If there are entries, that'll usually give you a hint. If there are no entries in the logs at all, that'll tell you something too.

the most likely problem is a router you are using. If you are using a router to put multiple comps on the internet, you are going to have to go and configure your router to direct incoming port 80 requests to your machine.

I hope thats your problem ;) it probably not because you havea "real" IP, and not some 192.168.x.x. But just in case you do have a router, thats definately a router problem

what is your connection? If you have a cable/dsl, its feasable that your company is blocking port 80 requests (100% of cable/dsl companies do not allow you to put servers on your comp.. even a personal ftp server can get you in trouble with them).

Lastly, make SURE your IP is that number.

type "ipconfig" at the dosprompt.

Hey guys i checked the error logs and access logs when i go into my own webspace that is page served by my server i get

127.0.0.1 - - [03/May/2003:19:43:43 -0400] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 304 0
169.234.119.32 - - [03/May/2003:19:57:58 -0400] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 304 0
68.140.112.20 - - [03/May/2003:19:59:39 -0400] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 304
one is the autoconfiguration ip address
the other is the ip address

tried putting them both in the httpd
As to my error logs what i got there is a bunch of notices like :

[Sat May 03 18:54:12 2003] [notice] Parent: Child process exited successfully.
[Sat May 03 18:54:59 2003] [notice] Parent: Created child process 3508
[Sat May 03 18:54:59 2003] [notice] Child 3508: Child process is running
[Sat May 03 18:54:59 2003] [notice] Child 3508: Acquired the start mutex.
[Sat May 03 18:54:59 2003] [notice] Child 3508: Starting 250 worker threads.

I asked few people to go to the desired ip and they get page not found and no log records in my access/error.

I am using just one pc without a router , i have a DSL that's why i changed the port to 8080 and i'm pretty sure i'm putting in the right ip address , THanks again for all the help
