trying to Set up a web/http server

Brandog · 08-Mar-2003, 07:09 PM #1

Man oh man! I never thought it would be this hard to do! I have a total of 2 computers. I have linux redhat 8.0 setup on the server and win 98 setup on the other cpu, I use a D-link router and both are behind the D-link(2 connections to the server and one to the win 98 cpu). the D-link is attached to my cable modem. I can access the server http page by typing in the IP of the server(via DHCP) from my win 98 cpu but I cant access it outside my own network??? I have read alot of documentation over the last 2 weeks and Have not been able to advance one step although I am getting pretty firmiluare with linux,lol. Can somebody please help me figure this out! If I can access an http outside my network that would be a huge break through for me! Where do I start and what do I do!

Have you setup port forwarding on the router to forward port 80 to the linux box?

As far as I know yes!

Do you mean this? I also set the DMZ to the address of the server cpu!

You may need to configure access to the server.I think it's /etc/httpd/conf/access.conf but it could be somewhere else,I dont know:I dont use Apache.

There is a GUI configuration front-end for Apache called Comanche that may be of help.Did Redhat set a security level when you installed it?Maybe it needs to be reset.

Thanks for the help! I managed to get it to work. People can now access my server html page from a remote location! It was an update for the router I needed!
