Unable to get the shared website in lan.
Hi every one,
I have installed Apache and stored HTML file under /var/WWW/html file in Linux. I am able to see the website in the physical computer the one am working on it but when i tried on other computer which is connected on the same LAN i can get the test page of Apache server but the HTML file shows me a blank page without any error. I am using red hat Linux system-i86-el5.
Apache version2.2 . Can any one help me in sorting this problem. I am desperately need someone's help at this point.

Do you mean /var/www/html ? Case in the filesystem is relevant (in Linux).
Is apache (httpd) running? Start it with "service httpd start"
Is the firewall running? Temporarily disable it to rule it out as a problem ("service iptables stop"
What does the apache log say? tailf /var/log/httpd/error_log
Is the html page you've written readable by all?
"ls -l /var/www/html/yourfile.html"
Can you ping the Linux webserver machine from your client machine (the one on the same LAN trying to access it)?

On the Linux server, run a tail of the apache log:
Then on the client, attempt to access that webpage.Code:tailf /var/log/httpd/error_log
What messages appear in the apache error log when you do this? If you don't see anything, do you see anything in the access log? /var/log/httpd/access_log
