Telnet,Ftp,Web page..... No workie

[knightmare]

Ok, here's the deal....

All of these things work localy. I can login to each just fine. I run dns software to keep track of my ip, and that works, as i also run a game server and people connect to it just fine. I also setup exim and i can create and send mail from this domain. So it's not a name/ip issue.

When people try the web page it gets:

People Cannot connect to telnet or FTP either... Yet it all works localy....

I have turned off Iptables....running redhat 9

Any help would be appreciated. And as you can see, i can also host images just fine..

hosts.allow / hosts.deny in /etc/ ?

are they actually getting a TCP RST packet back, or are they not receiving a reply at all to their TCP connection?

Ftp and telnet are disabled in the default installation of Redhat because they are insecure,

enable telnet and ftp by edit the /etc/xinetd.d/telnet and /etc/xinetd.d/ftp files by setting disable no and then restart the xinted service with

/etc/init.d/xinetd restart

But if i where you i should use an SSH/SCP-server and SFTP-server instead that are more secure.

What they get is a "Connection refused"..

I looked in /etc/xinetd.d/ and none of the files had permissions on. I chmod'ed them and will see if i can get someone to login and see what happens..

You're not supposed to chmod them. Those aren't scripts, they are configuration files, so open them with a text editor and see if you can find any line reading "disabled=yes".

[knightmare]

They say "Disabled=no"

Can you treat me like an idiot and guid me through this like it was my first time...

My last install was Slackware and it had it allready stup when i tunred on the computer i do beleive... Installed Redhat last week and am having a little trouble getting the things to work that i want..

Are you running a firewall. Check the output of "iptables -L -n" as root.

[knightmare]

I had thought about this, but i could not find it loaded anywhere. Thought that maybe it was hidden somewhere... So i used "locate iptables" and renamed every instance of it so it could not be found as iptables... But here is what it says when i run the command you told me too...


thisisiptables -L -n
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

[Dolda2000]

So that's not it...
Check which interface they are listening on

netstat -antp | grep LISTEN

My wonderful ISP is blocking port 80.

I got everything to work. I had to tell httpd to Listen to another port, then use a dns service to add the port to the address. All is good. Thanks for your help.
