RE: [gentoo-user] Need help with apache2 setup
I am trying to setup apache2, but I cannot get access from outside my machine. I have it set to listen on port 8000 and have that forwarded from my router, however, I can only connect to the server locally and only by specifying 127.0.0.1:8000. Outside of the machine, all I get is connection refused. Are you running iptables? You might have a rule which blocks external entities. Are you running tcp-wrappers? You might need to add an entry to /etc/hosts.allow to allow the connection from your router. Anyways it doesn't sound like an apache issue, but more of a security issue. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I thought about that, but I can access the remote setup capabilities of my router on port 8080, which strikes me as being the more likely candidate for blocking. I will however, try another port to see whether it helps. -- Ian Truelsen Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] AIM: ihtruelsen MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo!: iantruelsen Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
