Server can't be displayed remotely!

[Guest_imported]

I recently set up an Apache 1.3 server and got php and the like up and running, everything runs great locally, but only the computers at my house set up over a hub can connect to the actual '

http://—ip

here—/'. The computers networked at my house do not share a single IP, either, but other computers receive this message:

The page cannot be displayed
The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings.

What could be wrong? The server IS currently running, and I am 'Allow(ing) from All'. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Could you post your httpd.conf file here?

Might be able to see the problem there..

Hope this helps Wullie

Hi,

The most likely would be that there is blocking of inbound port 80 - either by the firewall on the linux / unix box or, more tricky, at your ISP. Some ISP's do block inbound http or port 80 for various reasons, including sometimes because they want to charge extra for that !

Presumably, you have a 'real' public internet IP address and not one of the RFC 1918 range :

10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 (10/8 prefix)
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 (172.16/12 prefix)
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 (192.168/16 prefix)

You'll never get external connectivity using any of those. Assuming not, what do you get from (as root) :

/sbin/ipchains -L

or

/sbin/iptables -L

This should show the active packet filtering on the local box and tell you if thats the problem.

Otherwise, it could be at your router, if you have one, or at your ISP.

You can try to get apache to respond to a non-standard port to see if that works. Just add :

Listen 80
Listen 81

to httpd.conf (then reload with 'killall -HUP httpd)

....and try from outside as

http://1.2.3.4:81

port number) to see if that works.

Hope this helps

Hi mate,

you can check what ports are blocked on your machine...

Thanks guys, port 80 was blocked, I ran it through port 3000 and it worked like a charm
