    LAMP on a local network

    Hi

    I'm new to all this and I am trying to set up a web sever over a local
    network. I currently have two boxes attached via a switch. Box 1 is
    configured with windowsXP and the other with Fedora3.

    The linux box has Apache installed and appears to be running ok. When I use
    IE to access the site I get the response : "Page cannot be displayed" or
    "The web page you requested is not available offline" depending what is
    entered in the address control.

    On the Linux box, if I use the command netstat -atn, this shows a host
    192.168.123.10 listening on port 80

    In the terminal window on the XP box, (192.168.123.12 ) when I ping
    192.168.13.10 I get a successful response. If I telnet 192.168.123.10 80 I
    get "could not open connection to the host on port 80:connect failed"

    Does anybody have any suggestions /commands that will help me resolve this.

    Also does anyone have a link to a good article recommending a development
    set-up that includes the physical configuration as well as development tools
    for a first timer.

      Not a PHP question.

      If it's listening but you can't connect then probably the connections are
      being dropped by the firewall. Try running a web browser on the FC3 box
      (IIRC RH comes with links as standard which will run in a terminal
      session).


      Alternatively, you could try (as root):
      iptables -F
      this will remove all the rules from the firewall.

      Obviousl;y you'll want to have a working firewall but this should allow you
      to confirm where the problem is.
