If an IP address is given as well as a port, the server will listen on the given port and interface. -- Thus, you want to use Listen 80 To tell apache to listen on all interfaces. Verify that apache is up and listening by using sockstat, `sockstat -l | grep httpd` Then telnet to your external IP address, port 80 # telnet external.ip.add.ress 80 Trying external.ip.add.ress... Connected to foo. Escape character is '^]'. GET / <html> <head> .. .. Connection closed by foreign host. Next telnet to the machine from a remote host. If you get connection refused or the network connection hangs, your provider may be filtering port 80. Try another port with apache, such as 8080 to verify. If you still have problems, a lot of apache wizards hang out in comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix. -- Christopher Schulte http://www.schulte.org/ Do not un-munge my @nospam.schulte.org email address.
