we have a problem logging into our wiki website (local server)
when we try to reach our wiki website we all get
"This site can't be reached xxxx refused to connect."
Now, this server is running on a local machine.
I have the login details for this machine and it is on right now.
I tried the different solutions on google/ youtube, nothing works.
In any case, this error occurs to all of us so I guess all of these local solutions wouldn't help anyway. I assume this is something to do with the server itself.
What should I check or do? I am logged in to the machine as an admin.
I'd appreciate any help.
BTW, I am new to all of it so I don't know much about network/server errors. Apologies for that.
In the http.conf, the 'Listen' line allows you to specify which port number you want the Apache server to respond to. The protocol 'http' uses ports 80 normally, Lets say your sever ip address is 8.8.8.8 . If you specified Listen 80, then you would be able to connect to your server using 8.8.8.8:80 or simply http://8.8.8.8 .
Since you want to use port 5000, you would make the line 'Listen 5000". Then Apache will respond to 8.8.8.8:5000
However, what concerns me is that you found 3 http.conf files. I wouldn't know which one is the correct one to modify.
Hi,
Thanks for your explanation I appreciate that.
The 3 httpd.conf files are located at:
C:\Program Files\EasyPHP3.0\conf_files
C:\Program Files\EasyPHP3.0\apache\conf
C:\Program Files\VisualSVN Server\conf
but I only found "Listen 81" and not 80.
I changed it to 5000 everywhere I saw 81 but still doesn't work, don't know If I am doing it right...
The machine is running on win XP.
All I know is that when I opened my browser and type "our_machine_name:5000" it would open our wiki page. Not it doesn't work for a week, after a power outage.
I will try what you told me to and update here. Thanks!
EDIT: I cant find the service, so I looked for the file you mentioned but it doesnt exist. I found a lot of folder with the name "apache" thou (if this is related somehow).
Hi,
I am using " Everything". It could not find '5000'.
Windows firewall is disabled.
When you say network scan what do you mean?
I opened CMD and type netstat then I can see what ports its listening to...
our machine is an internal machine and I believe the wiki http page was from the outside
Ok so it goes from outside to a machine inside the company.
The old link we had (before we shortened it to <machine_name>:5000 ) included our company name -our domain:5000/wiki
We use trac (trac.edgewall.org)
it seems like some files are missing because one of our guys started copying files from this old machine to a new one, something must have happened on the way...
