Hello,

 

I've never set up a web server before, but I followed instructions to set up Apache web server on a Fedora Core 10 machine, and I can't quite get it working properly. I set up everything fine, changed the permissions for the /var/www/ folder, and I can access any web pages in the folder through http://localhost/ or http://192.168.1.131/ from the browser on the server itself. SELinux gave me a couple errors at the start but it hasn't notified me of anything since I fixed them (it was only permissions stuff).

 

I can't, however, access it from anywhere else on the LAN, or over the internet. My network setup is DSL->router->Server. My ISP does not block port 80, and port 80 is forwarded through the router. (And I'm pretty sure the router's port forwarding works as I *can* ssh into the server over the internet, with its port forwarded)

 

Yet when I check with online port forwarding checkers they tell me the port is closed. I've tried changing apache to different ports with the same results.

 

I'm totally out of ideas... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Cheers

After a fashion. I'm using no-ip because I don't have a static WAN IP, but I can use the url from the service to SSH from over the internet, so there probably isn't any problem with that.

 

Interestingly, though, I did encounter problems when changing the SSH server from the default port--it also mysteriously stopped working. (And I remembered to change the forwarding and all that, too.)

 

Perhaps I'm overlooking something? I'm kind of a nub at this, but I followed all the steps various internet guides outline.

 

And yeah, httpd.conf is set to listen on 80.

 

When I try to get there in Firefox it gives me
