Hi,
I just installed apache-1.3 from debian-unstable. In /etc/httpd.conf,
i put: ServerName 192.168.0.1.

When i put http://192.168.0.1/ in mozilla, the address isn't found.
What should i check now?


Russell,

There are several things that could be wrong.  Here are a few suggestions to
troubleshoot the problem:

o Do you have a dynamic or a static IP?  If dynamic, it could obviously be
  that the IP address changed.


The dial-up is with pon and netstat -rn shows the dynamically obtained ISP
address. However, i have my pc set statically for 192.168.0.1 in /etc/hosts.

This doesn't matter much,, because i did the tests offline.


o Do you have a firewall in the middle or something?  It could be blocking
  the packets.


No.


o Try 127.0.0.1 instead, which is the local loopback device.  That should
  always work if Apache is correctly set up and running (you obviously need
  to launch the daemon in order to gain any web access).


I think some confusion comes from mozilla 1.2.1. When i enter http://127.0.0.1/,
then a dialog says: "connection refused when attempting to connect to 211.27.82.52".
This happens when i'm offline (no ppp or any other networked PCs connected),
and whether apache is started or stopped. I don't know where 211.27.82.52
comes from. Is it hard-coded into mozilla?


o How about a command such as 'telnet localhost 80', does it work?  Does it
  show something?  Try 'telnet 192.168.0.1 80' then too?  This should connect
  to your HTTP daemon and display at least a banner message.  If you see
  that, then it is working fine.


Thnks. I'd forgotten about testing with telnet. This confirms apache is working.
So what's mozilla doing?
