Apache not working over LAN

[michaelrosam]

Hi guys,

Im having some problems with my apache and i hope someone here can help as i have spent the last 3 hours reading through forums with no luck.

I think its a simple problem. I have set up my apache and it works fine through

http://localhost

and

http://192.168.1.3

(the LAN IP address) from the machine that the server is run on. How ever if i try to access it from another machine using the IP address i get page can not be found'.

Anyone know what im missing?

Thanks in advance!

Hi

The other machines can [tt]ping[/tt] your ?
What is the [tt]Listen[/tt] setting in your configuration file ?

feherke's first question will provide the answer for my guess - a firewall.

Hi,

I can ping the machine with no problems, and other network functionality works like accessing files and folders.

The listen setting in the config file is:

Listen 192.168.1.3:80

I added this in trying to resolve the issue but it had no effect. Did i enter it correctly?

Check your firewall. Something is stopping http traffic from getting to 192.168.1.3. This can be either a firewall not allowing http requests or your router is not forwarding http requests to that machine.
