Hi all,
I have compiled and installed Apache httd. I can see it in my loopback, but how do I make it so I can type in my I.P. address and see it from other computers. I am confused on where to edit and how to edit the files to just even get the test page up over the internet. I am running RH 7.2, but I installed apache after the initial install.
Thank you for helping this newbie,
Paul

make sure you have the firewall open on port 80.
you can do this in redhat by typing: setup in the terminal as root.
the config apache the httpd.conf file should be in /etc/httpd/httpd.conf

The config file 'httpd.conf' is very well documented.

Apache also installs all sorts of documentation to help anyone configure a webserver and you can also get loads of docs/faq's at www.apache.org

I found out what the problem was. The default system security config doesn't let port 80 get accepted by others. Thanks everyone!
