Is something already using the port?
netstat -an | grep :80 (or whatever port you using)

Is the application running after you start it?
pgrep appname or ps aux | grep appname

What port is your application running on?
< 1024 requires rootly powers

What user is the application running as?

Can you connect to the application from localhost?
ie w3m http://localhost/ or lynx http://localhost/

Thanks for your input Bill.

Incase this is helpful to anyone in the future here is the command I have now used to open the Firewall on port 9876 on my Red Hat box to allow my RB web server to receive connections:

iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 9876 -j ACCEPT

This command does not save the new entry so i do not believe that it would still be active after a reboot.

The following command should save the iptables settings so that the new Firewall changes will be active after a restart: ( I HAVE NOT TESTED THIS COMMAND - can anyone confirm that this is correct)

/etc/init.d/iptables save


Cheers


Jeff
