I am using Red Hat 4.4.7-4 . I have installed Apache Server using

yum install httpd

/etc/init.d/httpd start

/etc/init.d/httpd status httpd (pid 1371) is running...

This machine can be accesses through a VPN client using ssh terminal. When I hit 

http://ip address:80

in a browser, the page doesnt load. I get the following error:

This Page Cannot Be Displayed

The system cannot communicate with the external server ( 173.39.232.226 ). The Internet server may be busy, may be permanently down, or may be unreachable because of network problems.

Please check the spelling of the Internet address entered. If it is correct, try this request later.

If you have questions, or feel this is an error, please contact your corporate network administrator and provide the codes shown below.
Notification codes:     (1, GATEWAY_TIMEOUT, 173.39.232.226)

Also, below is the output of iptables

[root@blended-services-demo html]# iptables -L

You probalby need to enable access to your server on port 80 as it is currently being blocked by iptables.

sudo /sbin/iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT

This will insert the rule into your iptables configuration at the start. Once you have done this and tested that it works then you should save the configuration so that it it is used next time the service starts,

sudo /sbin/service iptables save

this will write the current configuration to /etc/sysconfig/iptables.

if this dont solve your problem, i suggest you take a look here: apache not accepting incoming connections from outside of localhost

  • I took a look at the link, but it still doesnt solve my problem. I have edited my post to include the output of iptables – user3392740 Apr 19 '14 at 23:21
