Dear Matt and All Actually i just realized that telnet is also not working ... only ssh is working from the internet.... I am really sorry for the wrong information... I have tried everything possible after searching the internet but not able to find any solution.... I dont know why simple telnet is not working over the internet when all the security if turned off... my telnet config file looks like:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# cat /etc/xinetd.d/telnet # default: on # description: The telnet server serves telnet sessions; it uses \ # unencrypted username/password pairs for authentication. service telnet { flags = REUSE socket_type = stream wait = no user = root server = /usr/sbin/in.telnetd log_on_failure += USERID disable = no } I CANNOT TELNET FROM THE INTERNET BUT I CAN TELNET THE WEB SERVER FROM THE SAME COMPUTER.... AND THIS IS WHAT I GET .... [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# telnet 133.xx.xx.xxx 80 Trying 133.xx.xx.xxx... Connected to ecgrid.xxxx.xxxxx.ac.jp (133.xx.xx.xxx). Escape character is '^]'.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# ERROR LOG: there is not entry in the error log for an access attempt from the internet.... I am using the IP address of my web server instead of its FQDN ... I am trying to solve the problem with the telnet before coming back to apache... in case you have any idea please let me know....

That is does your NIC bind to the public IP, or does it bind to a static LAN IP which you have forwarded port 80 from outside? If you can telnet to apache from the internet then apache is answering on the LAN _and_ internet NICs then you are almost there If you used the following _from the internet_ and received the homepage then all is well with the apache setup telnet your_internet_IP 80 GET / HTTP/1.1 User-Agent: firefox Host: yourservers_fully_qualified_domain_name [enter][enter] However if when you do this, you get a default page of some kind, maybe even an error then apache needs setting up to serve that FQDN, perhaps you need a servername directive in the vhosts section if you are serving more than one site. If you get nothing, "host not found", then you need to add a public A record for that FQDN pointing at your internet IP. So more details about the error are needed, what does the apache error log say, what is the error you get when trying from the internet? Have you set up a public DNS record, or can you add a hosts entry on the machine you are connecting FROM YOUR_PUBLIC_IP fully_qualified_domain_name so that even without DNS you know that your servername is matched to the correct IP address for that machine. Rather than have us suggest an endless stream of options, why not give us a bit more info? > > > > */Krist van Besien /* wrote: > > On 3/12/07, Asim Munawar wrote: > > Dear All > > I am new to apache...
