Apache..not sure

[ferg]

When I type /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart
I get Stopping Apache: [OK]
Starting Apache: [OK]
[root@fergweb /]#

so I assume apache is running. Also it is on a public ip address.
However, when I try from another computer http://216.xxx.xxx.xxx I get the following:

HTTP Error 403 - Forbidden
Internet Explorer
Should I have the IP address in the /etc/httpd/cpnf/httpd.conf file from 127.0.0.1 to the real IP?

So obviously the server is running, you just need to get your permissions right.

To do that you're going to have to read the httpd.conf file to see if you have permissions set in there.

The server is running though or you wouldn't get an error page.

Thanks. I will check it out.

Apache is running. You don't have one of the default documents in your webroot, and Apache is not allowed to list the contents of the directory. What does it do? 403! Put an index.html in your webroot (with some cheap html like "<p>Hello world!</p>" and you'll be set.
