Here is what I have found out so far. I am following your message you
sent
last night.
1. I tried it locally on the linux box going to http://127.0.10.1 the
under
construction html file I put up came up.
2. Then I followed along and went to http://192.168.1.100 on my Windows
computer that came up fine. So what I am assuming is that either port 80
is
being blocked or I don't have the router set right.
That does seem to be the case. That somewhere around your modem/router
or ISP, port 80 is blocked.
My next step will be to see if I can open port 80 through the router and
get
it too work if that does not work I would say the next logical step would
be
to change the httpd.conf for a different port. Do you agree?
Yes, as my other message discussed. The listen directive is the one to
use, did you restart Apache between configuration changes, and are you
familiar with SELinux?
Listen 8080
Should cause Apache to listen on port 8080.
Listen 80
Listen 8080
Should cause it to listen to both ports at the same time.
However, SELinux also applies restrictions, on top. So you'll have to
change how SELinux is running to be able to run Apache on ports other
than 80, 3128, 8080, or 8118. The ones other than 80 are used by
various HTTP proxies.
Before mangling or disabling SELinux, try one of the other ports that it
allows, by default. Just be sure to pick one that you're not already
making use of (Squid uses 3128, Privoxy uses 8118, I don't know what
commonly uses 8080). I definitely recommend keeping SELinux working.
But you don't have to make Apache listen to another port, you can just
forward connections between different port numbers at your modem/router.
