check and make sure the apache service is running. this is usually the problem when getting this message and you "know" the port is open.
/sbin/service httpd restart
that is correct. check in your httpd.conf file to see what IP address Apache is listening on.
on my web server this part of my config appears thusly (line 132-133):
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 80I've got a static external IP address and the web server sits behind a firewall/gateway machine so all my virtualhost containers appear like this:
<VirtualHost 192.168.0.4:80> ... </VirtualHost>
If you're not using VirtualHost containers then your Directory containers would appear something like this:
<Directory "/var/www/html/some_directory_name"> AllowOverride All Options ExecCGI # if you intend to use PERL scripts Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>
Still not able to get to your web host using the IP address? The next place I'd look is your host file: /etc/hosts
You've probably already, or should have, this entry in there:
# standard localhost entry 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost.localdomain # try placing this entry in the hosts file as well # the entry should be your external IP address or the IP address # you've assigned to your machine with the web service running on it xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx hostname hostname_alias # EXAMPLE: # 192.168.0.10 myhostname myhost # OR # 56.236.211.100 claudehome.net claudehome.net
