Installing Apache & MySQL under my home direcctory

hi

yes i have verified that also. when i ping the machine it gives the same ip address as that of machine.i guess DNS is okay.

when you telnet to port 8888 what do you get ?
also check to see port 8888 is allowing inbound connections from outside on the server itself.

[Neeraj_7]

yes , i have checked using netstat that the port 8888 is open and accepting inbound connections.

this may not be a DNS problem if you connect to http://IP:8888/

Could you post your http.conf file here ?

Regards,

Fred

Hi Fred,

i m enclosing my httpd.conf over here. Plz look over & tell me if there is some problem.

this looks like a generic httpd.conf it should be working.. but just for fun, uncomment the Listen line where it has ipaddress:port

and make it the ipaddress:8888 of the box you want it to be..or just say Listen 8888

I've always used that to move my servers, never the Port feature..

Hi Vid,

U r right, for fun i tried uncommenting that listen line also. That also didn't work. But if though the line is commented, i have checked using netstat that the port 8888 is open for inbound connections because in httpd.conf file , it has been specified as 8888 under port.

Just found a syntax error in my config, the hard way at a private customer site.

Ooops!

ServerName chicago50thward.org.com:80

should read

ServerName chicago50thward.org:80

Smiles.

Happens to saladbrains too.
