Cant access website

[INeedSleep]

Hi all,

So I have set up a 5.5 installation on a Virtual box VM.
The Virtualbox (not for the VM) network preferences have DHCP Server disabled and IPV address and the network mask I believe are valid for my home network.

My VM is up and running and it has gotten an IP address from my home router and everything seems fine.

From any machine in my house I can ssh into my centos installation.

I went ahead and started up the httpd service and the website is up. IOW, I can see it from my centos box - when I navigate to http://localhost

However, I cannot see it from any other machine on the net. The IP address of the centos bos is 192.168.0.141. From the centos I can do a http://192.168.0.141 and see the Apache 2 test Page.

I can see that from anywhere else. Although I can ssh to that machine.

Any idea what I am doing wrong /not doing?

thanks!
Jas

Anyone? Getting kind of desparate.

I am not sure if this is a config on my virtualbox settings or on my VM. Anyone else running 5.5 on virtBox and seen this?

thanks,
Jas

SOLVED!


OK, not sure what happened. It started working...

I have not done squat to make it work. But now it works great - Maybe animal sacrifice will make things work faster next time.

go figger!

I have the same problem. Can't open http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx from host(WinXP).
Haven't been resolved. :-(

Can some one help me?
thanks

Stop IPTABLES (service iptables stop) and try again, then if working, add port 80 to IPTABLES (cmdline:# iptables -A INPUT -p tcp ---dport 80 --sport 1024:65535 -j ACCEPT)
I think this is the correct syntax (or try read [url=http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_iptables_sarge]iptables basic howto here[/url])
