I followed the installation instructions for "Installing MyDNS & MyDNSConfig 3 On Fedora 10" and all seemed to go fine with the initial configuration. I only made one change from the defaults:

Full qualified hostname (FQDN) of the server, eg server1.domain.tld [localhost.localdomain]:

I choose to enter what will be the fully qualified domain name instead of taking the default.

So once the install completed I checked to make sure I could access

HTML Code:

http://localhost:8080

locally which came up fine however from a different computer I tried accessing via IP and by hostname:8080 but receive browser error:

The connection was reset

Interestingly enough I get to the generic Fedora test page if I drop :8080. So I'm fairly confident that the issue is either firewall related or has something to do with choosing the FQDN at setup.

I set SELinux to disabled for the moment and rebooted and added a firewall rule for port 8080. Below is the output of iptable -L:

Code:

[root@ns-srv1 ~]# iptables -L

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)

Please let me know what else I can provide to get this fixed.
