Apache not working on localhost

Hello,

I've noticed in ISPCONFIG that Apache was not working, but all the hosted websites are accesible... Strange.

I've checked apache with "apachectl status" and get following:

Code:

Looking up localhost

Making HTTP connection to localhost

Alert!: Unable to connect to remote host.



lynx: Can't access startfile http://localhost/server-status

I've tried to telnet to port 80 and get an error (port 21, 81, etc have no problem).

Any idea?

What's the output of

Code:

httpd -t

? Any errors in Apache's error log?

Syntax OK

netstat -tap

netstat shows

Code:

tcp 0 0 server1.xxx:www *:* LISTEN 32034/apache

The hostname is server1.xxx.com

I've checked the apache error log, but there aren't errors related with this (just some "File does not exist: /var/www/sharedip/search.php", etc)

I've also checked apache config (httpd.conf), dind't found nothing strange (for example "ServerName localhost")

If it helps Apache is version 1.3.33 using ispconfig 2.2.13.

Apache is listening on a specific IP address only, not on all IP addresses. ISPConfig probes the Apache on the IP address 127.0.0.1. Because your Apache is not listening on 127.0.0.1, ISPConfig thinks that it's offline.

Thanks...

I have corrected the httpd.conf file to:

Code:

Listen xx.xx.xx.xx:80

Listen 127.0.0.1:80

and all is working now!

Would it be better (more secure) to change it to

Code:

Listen 80

I have a server with various IP, and have some IP only configured for mail, dns, etc

Both solutions are ok. With the latter Apache will listen on all IP addresses.

to original thread opener:im not hijacking your thread. i just have a similar problem and hate to open a new thread for the same thing.

i have the same problem. im not exactly a noob at linux but i am at linux servers and stuff.

httpd fails to start ive already set it to listen correctly and still nothing
the only way i can get it to start is with

Code:

httpd -e DEBUG

which doesnt give any errors or anything. after that it works percfectly. though i think i shouldnt be running it like that what should i do about it?

till	19th September 2009 10:59

please post the output of:

httpd -t

and

netstat -tap | grep http
