/snip/ > There is clearly an issue with the way this system deals with httpd Look in httpd.conf ( /etc/httpd/httpd.conf probably ) Find the Listen line. It can be set up two ways. Listen 127.0.0.1:80 or Listen 80 ( or any real IP assigned to a real interface. If the IP is included, it restricts listening to that IP only ) Listen 127.0.0.1:80 will listen and respond to ONLY port 80 requests on the artificial internal "localhost" IP address, unless the call is to a name other than localhost in which case it will be ignored. Remember, 127.X.X.X is the local internal "interface" only, and if it's configured correctly 127.0.0.1 will ONLY respond to the machine name "localhost" and nothing else. ( which means it will only respond to itself ) Listen 80 will respond to any http request on any and all IP's assigned to the machine, and all machine names unless restricted elsewhere. -- Cowboy http://cowboy.cwf1.com Screw up your courage!
