Nobody likes to recommend reinstall -- because it smells too much like a typical Windows last-resort solution. :-) But that is always an option which, in the case of a recent install (where you probably have little to worry about preserving), is probably relatively cheap.. ..but (to some of us) it seems a shame not to try to figure out what the problem is. Other than curiosity, the real benefit of this, of course, is to avoid and/or fix similar problems in the future. If you have sufficient patience/tolerance (etc) to suffer through more questions and experiments, there still are additional avenues to explore. The results of the following commands would be nice to see: (easier if you execute them as root) uname -a selinuxenabled && echo YES || echo no service iptables status tail -20 /var/log/httpd/error_log If selinux is enabled.. - we should probably ask for advice from someone who knows more about it than I do, but.. - if you are behind a firewall, and don't have anything to fear from other login users or other computers on your LAN (this is probably a home system, right?), then you can safely disable selinux with system-config-selinux (same as via menu: System > Administration > SELinus Management) Then change the Enforcing mode to "Disabled" Save and then reboot. Did you ever do the "Listen 8880" (httpd.conf change) experiment? Regards, ..jim -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-newbie
