Apache is not serving website externally. Locally its fine.

Hi all,
This is most likely an easy question to answer. I am not a Linux Expert, I am more of a windows server guy.

Well My company wants a helpdesk app and we have decided to try RT, running on a Linux box to save money.

I have installed Fedora 11 with the default options, installed Apache from the installation with the default options and installed RT. Everything seems to be working locally, but when I try to browse the website from another machine it cant find it. I can ping the box, but no luck with the web browser. Im sure its a security setting, I just dont know which one.

Any help would be appreciated.

Is your router port forwarding all http traffic to the server's internal ip?

Did you enable a local firewall on that box?

Hi all,
It was the firewall blocking the web server from being able to work. Thanks for the help everyone.
