[animex2]

hey all! i wanna get my apache server working, i had one running on windows... If i rmemeber corectly on windows there was a folder i put index.html in and thats what the apache server loaded if it wen to... Im wondering if anyone can point me to the folder? Currently im guessing my index.html is stuff that says this -

I believe it depends on which distro you're using but looking in /var/www/ you should find what you're looking for.

alright, tyvm! that was it!!!

now i am behind a linksys router, i belive i have to do port forwarding for people to see this... What ports need to be forwarded?

[ph34r]

80. Unless your ISP is nice enough to block that for you...

http://testx2.no-ip.com/

thats what my linksys router looks like... Anything im doing wrong or is it my ISP's fault...

::EDIT::

also, if i go to it i see it fine, same if i go to localhost or 192.168.1.101

i think the other comps in my house can see it too...

[animex2]

OH, and the 5555-5558 is for giFT about 80-80...

[animex2]

just thought of something... Could it be that i configured it wrong?

:: EDIT::

ya... ive been searching... I looked for a httpd.conf and i couldnt find one on my PC... I installed apache like it said in the directions, when i go to run -

[root@localhost apache2]# /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start

i got-

httpd: Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName
[root@localhost apache2]#

so i gotta edit a file that tells it to go to 192.168.1.101 instead of 127.0.0.1

[animex2]

more news...

[root@localhost phear]# /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start
httpd: Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName
(99)Cannot assign requested address: make_sock: could not bind to address 24.51.86.99:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs

i cant find anywhere in httpd.conf where it says anything about 127.0.0.1 though still... so im guessing thats something default... These are my settings on top httpd.conf (http://roxx0rz.netfirms.com/httpd.conf)

[sploo22]

See the line:
#ServerName 24.51.86.99:80
in httpd.conf? Change that to
ServerName testx2.no-ip.com

But it shouldn't really affect much.

BTW, what's that "Listen 24.51.86.99:80" line doing there? It should be your IP address on your internal network.

::EDIT::

also i updated httpd.conf

http://roxx0rz.netfirms.com/httpd.conf

[sploo22]

Try just
Listen 80
and see if that helps. :)

ty =D

but now i think im back to router trouble or something, if i go to localhost or 192.168.1.102, i get what i should, but if i go to my ip or testx2.no-ip.com i get this -

what page looks like (http://roxx0rz.netfirms.com/page.png)

[animex2]

conclusion... My isp is teh ghey people... They blocked my port 80... Is there any port i can run apache on besides 80 and still have people connect to it through web browser? (im almost positive its possible to conect to one, not shure u can make apache do it)

[animex2]

got it working, ty for help...

I use port 8080.
You'll need to use http://testx2.no-ip.com:8080 to get to your site. It's possible no-ip has a domain forwarding feature which can have http://testx2.no-ip.com point to http://testx2.no-ip.com:8080. If this is not the case, you can get a free account at www.zoneedit.com which will do this.

Never mind, it looks like you found an alternitave solution.

BTW, that phear.jpg is huge. Use gimp to converty it to PNG.
And yes, windows can view PNG files.

[animex2]

can windows view .png files?

[do_guh_new]

yes
