[SOLVED] Apache broken/protesting.. was fine yesterday

justforgetme · #1 11th May 2010, 02:08 PM

[SOLUTION]
When you don't tell appache what IPs/Ports to listen to it wont listen to any...
Apaches Listen directive should have at least one
IP:Port entry or just the default entry 80
[/SOLUTION]

Hello everybody!

apparently if have run into problems with apache. here's the deal:

I installed apache a few days ago and up untill yesterday everything was fine, I opened the fiirewall for http traffic and could se the website from all computers on my local network. today though it is a whole different matter, the webervers IP doesn't work on any machine nor does it work on the webserver itself. the httpd process is running but it doesn't generate any access or error logs linked to the traffic, the only thing that gets logged is an error log on restart:

Code:

[Tue May 11 14:08:32 2010] [notice] Graceful restart requested, doing restart

And I don't know how to deal with that..

If anybody has had a simmilar issue or has aby ideas at all please reply.
thanks.

PS: I know the fedora forum might not be the correct place to seek guidance on webserver issues, if you know of other communities that are more relevant go ahead and mention them. cheers!

justforgetme · #3 11th May 2010, 05:37 PM

tail /var/log/httpd/error_log

justforgetme · #5 11th May 2010, 05:44 PM

Ok, here's what I get:

I don't know what most of this means but it doesn't look that bad to me except the python error thingie...

Do you have an outside machine handy?

justforgetme · #11 11th May 2010, 05:49 PM

I have a laptop on the same network sitting next to me

10sdassarma · #12 11th May 2010, 05:50 PM

I could ping you if I have your IP/hostname, because it may be the network, not the server.

justforgetme · #13 11th May 2010, 05:54 PM

this server isn't meant to comunicate with the internet but to host webpages for the local network. So what I care about is to make apache work for the local network. :-)

10sdassarma · #14 11th May 2010, 05:56 PM

ping it from the laptop, please
