msersen Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Hey everyone this is my 1st post here so please go easy on me I've set up Apache on my linux box under FC6 and have it working. I also created an account with DynDns and have successfully tied the domain name to my IP. That's where the fun ends! I can only get as far as my router log-in screen. I have placed an "index.html" file in my var/www/html directory (yes I am root) and expected it to load. If I open the file locally it works just fine therefore I know the .html file is working fine. Any help is appreciated. cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R_P Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 This is more of a networking issue than Apache. You are getting your router screen because your router is set up to accept port 80 traffic by default (basically it is running a mini webserver too). This means that traffic isn't even getting to your apache server. See if you have any configuration sections such as "port forwarding" or "port redirecting." My hunch is that you will need to assign your webserver a static (192.168.x.x) IP address (rather than aquisition through DHCP) and then have your router forward port 80 traffic to your server. Unfortunately, with the wide variety of routers and configs out there, this is a tough one to troubleshoot and I'm certainly no networking expert. Make sure you've gone through all the documentation that came with the router to ensure that it's even possible. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
