 Posted: Sat Oct 30, 2004 6:04 pm Post subject: Apache Refuses Connection |
 |
|
I am setting up ana apache webserver on gentoo, in the past this was really easy, but it is giving me problems at the moment.
I forwarded port 80 for the machine, and ran "emerge apache", let that finish,then did "rc-update add apache2 default", then rebooted my server. WHen I try to connect from even my local network, I get "connection refused". Does anyone know what might be causing this? |

| Are you sure you've configured Apache to listen to port 80? Have you tried connecting to your outside IP (e.g eth0) or localhost (127.0.0.1 or ::1)? |

| Hmmm, I tried manually running /etc/init.d/apache start and it still will not connect. The httpd appears to be running, yet there i no way to connect? Any ideas? |

Something I noticed, my Desktop machine and my server somehow have the same IP. Is there anyway that this could be causing the problem? How can I fix this?
I don't think that is the problem though, since localhost still wont load.
Also, can anyone tell me a good program that will retreive my WAN IP and update it to dyndns every hour? I have a dynamic IP, and I want a program that keeps the one in dyndns up to date.
I saw this page, https://www.dyndns.org/services/dyndns/clients.html but I am not sure which ones best for me. I want a program that I can pretty much just emerge, do a small config, and rc-update. |

Hmmm, apache seems to be putting this in "error_log"
| Code: |
[alert] (EAI 2)Name or service not known: mod_unique_id: unable to find IPv4 address of "prometheus"
Configuration Failed
|
Any idea what is causing this and how to fix it?
Nevermind, I simply commented out the unique_is line and its fully working now. |
