This is not exactly a MacPorts question, but kinda related since I am using
MacPorts apache2 instead of the factory supplied version, and I figured one of
you might know the answer. I have the apache2 port installed at
/opt/local/apache2 on my Lion iMac. I have the firewall turned on, and even
though the app is listed as allowing incoming connections, I can't get to the
iMac if the firewall is on. If I turn off the firewall, the web server works
fine.
My question -- is there any other app besides httpd that needs to accept
incoming connection in order to allow httpd to work?
$sudo /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw --unblockapp \
/opt/local/apache2/bin/httpd
2011-09-17 12:21:44.041 socketfilterfw[40441:d07] CFURLCreateWithBytes
was passed these invalid URLBytes: '/opt/local/apache2/bin/httpd
Incoming connection to the application is permitted
So, the problem could be related to the error message that
"CFURLCreateWithBytes was passed these invalid URLBytes:
'/opt/local/apache2/bin/httpd" (note the missing closing single quote)
Nevertheless, the following command lists httpd as accepting incoming
connections.
$sudo /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw --listapps
ALF: total number of apps = 7
..
3 : /opt/local/apache2/bin/httpd
( Allow incoming connections )
Yet, if I turn on the firewall, the web server is unreachable.
Suggestions?
