httpd.conf does not allow remote connections
Posted on 2006-11-06
Hello experts,
I have my custom Apache configuration file httpd.conf as following:
--------------------------
Include conf/ica_dir.conf
Port 6450
ErrorDocument 404 http://localhost:6450/html/apache_notfound.html
ErrorDocument 401 http://localhost:6450/html/apache_notfound.html

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.phtml
Include conf/ica_dir1.conf
--------------------------
The problem is that I can open the address http://localhost:6450 at my computer but other computers that use my computer IP (like http://192.168.1.10:6450) cannot open this website.
Pls help me how to fix this httpd.conf, thanks very much.

What does your Listen directive look like? If you specify the IP address, Apache will only listen on that IP address.

Where are these other computers in relationship to your computer? Are they on the same IP subnet as yours?
Do you have a personal firewall that could be blocking inbound access to port 6450?
What OS are you running?

Thanks,
These other computers are on the same IP subnet as mine, and on the same domain. There is also no block access to port 6450. The OS is Windows XP.

When you try and access the site what exact error do you get?
From one of the other computer (this will be the "client") try to get to the one running the Websever (this will be the "sever"). As you are doing that issue the following command on BOTH computer:
netstat -n
Look for all lines that have the IP address of the Web Server and see what the status of the connection is. If you see SYNSENT on the "client" then something on the Server is blocking inbound access to port 6450.
Are you running any firewalls on the "sever"?

Thanks, I try something like this:

The server has its IP address 172.16.1.10, running IIS as webserver. I also run Apache with custom httpd.conf that will get port 6450.
I don't know why this Apache with this custom httpd.conf can prevent connections from other client computers. From client computer I cannot access to http://172.16.12.10:6450 (run with Apache), but other addresses like http://172.16.12.10 (run with IIS) can.
Many thanks

You did this while you were attempting to access the websever from 172.16.12.110? I don't see any connection on the client that shows it even attempting to access 172.16.12.10.
Apache configured properly (or improperly depending on your point of view) can prevent connections from specific IP address or addresses. This is done by the allow/deny statments.
