I've read many posts on the internet about the problems related to changing IP address. We changed the IP on a Fedora 4 system now we are unable to start httpd. I've looked for references to the old IP everywhere. And the error_log does not tell me anything. Is there a way to get more information from httpd?

Hi Philip Donaghy: Ok, try this on the machine: ----------------------------------------- tod@tod-desktop:~$ ps aux | grep ht tod 2475 0.0 0.1 2876 792 pts/5 R+ 02:07 0:00 grep ht tod@tod-desktop:~$ ----------------------------------------- On my machine I do not run httpd and so you see only the reference to me using grep to search for it amongst all of the currently running processes (ps aux). My guess is that you will find a reference to httpd alive and well. My next guess is that when you changed the IP of the machine we are probably talking about which is running the web server (httpd) that you did not inform all of the name services involved of where your "MyHostName.com" is now. So people looking for "MyHostName.com" cannot find your new IP. You could also try opening your favorite browser and entering "http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"; where "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" is your new IP (the IP of the machine found by doing "ifconfig" as below (some numbers Xed for privacy): ------------------------------------------------------------ tod@tod-desktop:~$ ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:4C:25:8D:A1 inet addr:192.168.x.x Bcast:192.168.x.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::210:4bff:fe21:8da1/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:26598 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:26436 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:33 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:17282587 (16.4 MiB) TX bytes:6959203 (6.6 MiB) Interrupt:10 Base address:0x9800 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:15 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:15 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:932 (932.0 b) TX bytes:932 (932.0 b) tod@tod-desktop:~$ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Please see below for a better understanding of name service on the Internet: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Unix-and-Internet-Fundamentals-HOWTO/internet.html Per your originial request: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Intranet-Server-HOWTO.html Good Hunting!
