Hi all,

Im currently having a problem with a server i am setting up, I have installed apache and it works fine. I can access it through ' and through '
But if i type the network IP address of the machine, for example ' i get page can not be found.

Now i have set up a couple of servers and following the same logic it works on those, anyone any ideas where ive gone wrong with this one?

Thanks for all your help in advance
 
A improperly configured software firewall is the most likely cause.
 
First, make sure that the server is actually listening
on that IP.

Both in Windows/cmd mode and solaris, use "netstat -an".

Make sure there is a address like:

0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0 LISTENING (windows)
or
*.80 *.* 0 0 0 LISTEN

This means that apache server should respond to all http requests for all IPs.

Thanks ..... managed to get some help from a friend of mine but you were right. Added into the config file "listen {IP Address}:80" and it now works fine.

No idea what it means but i dont care as long as i keeps working!!!! :)

Thanks for all your help
