Hey everyone, I just set up an apache server on fc9, but now I am testing it out and it seems to only work locally... i can't get the test page up from another host on the network, and it also doesn't answer telnet on port 80. Yes, im a noob, so I probably overlooked something obvious. Help please!
Have you the iptables service running? I think this runs by default in FC9 so it's more than likely blocking Apache/Port 80. You can either add a rule for Apache or disable it altogether.
When I was setting up I turned off the firewall, and the guide I was following (howtoforge) said to run iptables -L to verify it was off, it says iptables -L should display
but on mine, it displaysCode: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
Anyway, something tells me I didn't successfully disable the firewall or iptables or whichever it is. How do I disable it? ThanksCode:Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED
ACCEPT icmp -- anywhere anywhere
ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere state NEW tcp dpt:ssh
REJECT all -- anywhere anywhere reject-with icmp-host-prohibited
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
REJECT all -- anywhere anywhere reject-with icmp-host-prohibited
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
umm ok... I ran system-config-firewall again, which brings up the gui. it showed that the firewall was disabled, but just for kicks i enabled the firewall and checked the box next to http, and then whaddya know? it works. even dumber, i turned it right back off, and it still works. weird!
Well thanks for your help!
