Hi, I have just installed apache httpd-2.2.14 on a linux machine running SLES10. I am running the web server as non-root, so I have set the listening port to "23456" in my httpd.conf file. It appears to start correctly:
> netstat -an | grep LISTEN | grep 234 tcp 0 0 :::23456 :::* LISTEN but when I try to access http://localhost in my browser, I get a "failed to connect" error. The error_log and access_log don't contain any relevant info (see below). The first few lines of my /etc/hosts file contains: --------------------------------------- 127.0.0.1 localhost # special IPv6 addresses ::1 localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback --------------------------------------- I tried to check the connection with "cURL" and telnet: > curl http://localhost/ curl: (7) couldn't connect to host > telnet localhost 23456 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. ^[[ Connection closed by foreign host. Does anyone know what the problem might be? Regards Steve The access log contains: > cat access_log ::1 - - [03/Nov/2009:15:34:33 +1000] "OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0" 200 - ::1 - - [03/Nov/2009:15:34:33 +1000] "OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0" 200 - ::1 - - [03/Nov/2009:15:34:33 +1000] "OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0" 200 - ::1 - - [03/Nov/2009:15:34:33 +1000] "OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0" 200 - ::1 - - [03/Nov/2009:15:34:33 +1000] "OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0" 200 - 127.0.0.1 - - [03/Nov/2009:16:18:19 +1000] "\xff\xf4\xff\xfd\x06\xff\xf4\xff\xfd\x06" 501 222 I only noticed the last line after I had tried accessing http://127.0.0.1 I don't think it was there after trying http://localhost The error_log contains: > cat error_log [Tue Nov 03 15:26:19 2009] [notice] Digest: generating secret for digest authentication ...
