Hello Ammar, I happed to be setting up Name Based Virtual Hosting using 2 (A) records to the same IP when this thread started so I have been following when I have minute. Here are some things I would try, but please understand that I'm not an expert with Apache although I did get it to work inside and of firewall appliances. This sounds like it has to be a DNS resolution issue. It you can't telnet, because the host does not resolve I would not expect a browser to find the machine. Fix host resolution and make the telnet host error go away and you will fix your issue. I would try the following: 1) ipconfig /flushdns --> make sure you start fresh if any DNS changes were made. 2) nslookup on any names you are using in your virtual hosts configuration and make sure they resolve from the machine that has the browser. Steps below may help find the issue. 3) Assuming you have a firewall do the nslookup from outside and inside and compare the results. If it does not resolve on the outside you may need to change public DNS. See step 4 before making this change. 4) Before making a DNS change you can use the /etc/hosts (forget where on windows but it is there) to test that it is your issue. Change the hosts file on the machine that is calling the Apache server so that the name you use resolves to the IP of the Apache Host. if it happens to be the same machine I suppose this will still work but better to test from another machine on your network. The hosts file is looked at before DNS so this should ensure you are pointing to the correct machine. The fact that localhost resolves on the same machine makes me confident that a change to the hosts file and ultimately DNS will fix you problem. I hope this is remotely helpful. Regards, -Chris

I tried telnet and curl. Curl gives me host resolution error. Telnet connect fails. When I use the ServerName and localhost from the server the apache is on, it works perfectly. The domain also works with the IIS on the same machine. Only Apache is not getting requests from outside, I wonder why.

And don't trust your browser, in many cases it could cache http answers, dns answers and even negative answers. Just to be sure you are able to reach your server, you should try from command line a tool like curl or wget.Even telnet could be used if you know how to do it. This should work: curl -vv -I 211.80.39.244:8080 2013/10/15 Ammar Hassan <amr...@live.jp> Dear Vincenzo, Thank you for the insight. My IP address is something else I just used 123.45.6.789 as an example, my server's ip is 211.80.39.244. Now I have removed the ip from httpd.conf and tried accessing the computer with computer name. IIS works, APACHE works if accessed from the machine itself. It does not serve the web page if any other machine accesses it with machine name. Why is that? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC: users@httpd.apache.org From: v.dam...@gmail.com Date: Mon, 14 Oct 2013 09:58:22 +0200 To: users@httpd.apache.org Subject: Re: [users@httpd] Apache Virtual Host Config issue Hi Ammar, usually you don't put "Listen" directive inside your vhost configuration.And you cannot have an IP address like 123.45.6.789. "IP Addresses are canonically represented in dot-decimal notation, which consists of four decimal numbers, each ranging from 0 to 255"( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address ) If you what specify an IP address you should choose between the addresses configured on your server.On the other hand, why do you need to specify a different IP address? As far as I see now you have your apache up and running on port 8080 and has bind all available IP addresses. Which for your test should be perfect (IMHO). May be your problem is only that you want connect to your server using an IP address not available. An IP not configured on your server.

TCP 0.0.0.0:8080 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING TCP [::]:8080 [::]:0 LISTENING The one other Listen directive I have in my httpd.conf is Listen 8080 Then in vhosts I have Listen 123.45.6.789:8080 The subdomain is resolving to the IP (the one I mentioned is just an example) the ping is fine, When I browse the website with localhost:8080 or from LAN ip 192.168.0.1:8080 the site works perfect. As a test, I mapped the subdomain on a dummy IIS website, when I browsed it, it worked fine. When I put 8080 at the end of the domain it says server timed out. -Ammar ________________________________ From: yeh...@ymkatz.net Date: Wed, 9 Oct 2013 23:10:18 -0400 To: users@httpd.apache.org Subject: Re: [users@httpd] Apache Virtual Host Config issue On Wed, Oct 9, 2013 at 11:03 PM, Ammar Hassan <amr...@live.jp<mailto:amr...@live.jp>> wrote: Thank you for a detailed reply. I have gone through the things you asked me to check. There was an entry in netstat -an like this: TCP [::]:8080 [::]:0 LISTENING Which suggests that Apache is running. So now what I did was, I tried to add a Listen directive to the IPAddress the subdomain was resolving to. If that was the only line that matched, apache is only listening on IPv6. Listen 123.45.6.789:8080 Do you have other listen lines in your configuration? It might help to enable the server info module and see if there are any listed in its output. I also added a virual host entry explicitly for this IP <VirtualHost 123.45.6.789:8080> ServerName subdomain.example.com<http://subdomain.example.com> </VirtualHost> You should not add a virtual host unless you want it to have different content or configuration. Otherwise it will make this harder. When I restarted Apache it failed with the following error: "Context of the address was (OS 10049) request is invalid. : AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address 123.45.6.789:8080" Are you sure it points to that address? That is not a valid IP address which would explain why apache can't bind to it. - Y --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@httpd.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@httpd.apache.org ТÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÐÐ¥Fò Vç7V'67&–&R RÖÖ –â W6W'2×Vç7V'67&–&T ‡GG Bæ 6†Ræ÷&pФf÷" FF—F–öæ  6öÖÖ æG2 RÖÖ –â W6W'2Ö†VÇ ‡GG Bæ 6†Ræ÷&pÐ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@httpd.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@httpd.apache.org -- Vincenzo D'Amore email: v.dam...@gmail.com skype: free.dev mobile: +39 349 8513251 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@httpd.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@httpd.apache.org The information contained in this e-mail and any accompanying documents may contain information that is confidential or otherwise protected from disclosure.
