checking apache

[champ_weller]

i am running centOS 5.7 i think it is my server that i connect to via ssh it is a very far distance away. Anyways i installed apache and set it up to start on boot well. i want to run firefox so i can check if Open Source and Linux Forums is working but i cant forward x using

ssh -X root@serverip

because when i run firefox it says error no display specified. Anywho how can i check if Open Source and Linux Forums works any suggestions

btw the local machine is running ubuntu 11.04

Check the config of ssh in server.

X11Forwarding yes

where do i find the config file i did

ls .ssh

on both machines remote and local and all i can find is known_hosts

oh btw my first post should say http:// localhost

not the open source and linux forums

[vasile002]

it is in /etc/ssh/sshd_config

If you can't get X redirection working, you can always use a text-based browser, e.g.:

lynx -dump http://localhost

EDIT: oh yeah, make sure apache is running on remote CentOS box, too:

service httpd status

and btw, can't you just connect to the ip address in firefox, instead of connecting locally and exporting your display?, e.g.:

firefox http://$serverip

alright ill try the lynx command do i am guessing i need to install it unless it is on installed by default.

and to i dont quite understand your last command am i running it on the local machine or the remote machine? what exactly does that do.

I would appreciate it if you elaborated on the last command
