First apache webpage

  #1  
Oct 30th, 2007
Hello, I was just hoping for a bit of help or for someone to point me in the right direction. Okay, so this past August, I found a really old windows 98 machine (433mhz processor and 96mb of ram). I decided to put slackware on it, and mess around with it a bit.

So, I now have a ssh and irc server running from it (schulte.homelinux.com), but now I am trying to configure apache to work properly. I have installed apache successfully, but for some reason I cannot access the apache server. I have port forwarding enabled for the router on port 80... but try it yourself: schulte.homelinux.com just loads forever and gives me a timeout error.

Basically, I am trying to set up a forum-based website on schulte.homelinux.com (I got the domain from dynDNS).. so yeah, any help would be swell.

Um, I'm not sure.. the server is set up at my house, and I'm at college now. I access it via the ssh server.

Warning: bad ps syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? See http://procps.sf.net/faq.html
28760 pts/0 R+ 0:00 grep http

Yeah.. I dunno why 80 would be closed..

Thanks for your help, and dealing with my ignorance

Oh sorry, I forgot that I had stopped the service, and edited the config file. I get this error when I try to restart httpd:

josh@server:/home/httpd/bin$ apachectl start
(13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80
(13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs

I've got to go right now, but I believe I had just been trying to get it to work.. and editing the file viciously trying to get it to work.. I think I had it on: listen localhost:80.. but I'll post what it really says in like 2 hours.
