    Hi folks,

    Apache2

    First test after installation failed. This is a test without Domain.

    On firefox ran "http://127.0.0.1/". It hung there for prolonged time
    without the default page popup.


    $ ps -ef | egrep /apache2
    Code:
    root      5064     1  0 11:26 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k

    satimis   5077  4836  0 11:30 pts/2    00:00:00 grep -E /apache2
    
    $ cat /var/log/apache2/error.log
    Code:

    Are there other basic test on Apache2? TIA


    Edit-1: * * *

    Ubuntu-606.1-LAMP-server-amd64

    What shall I put on /etc/hosts.conf ?

    Original final was;
    Code:
    order hosts,bind
    multi on
    Edited it as;
    Code:
    order hosts,bind
    multi on
    127.0.0.l localhost.localdomain localhost
    On running
    sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
    Code:
    /etc/host.conf: line 3: bad command `127.0.0.l localhost.localdomain localhost'
     * Forcing reload of apache 2.0 web server...        [ok]
    It complained.

    This doesn't look ok. There's no loopback interface (127.0.0.1). What's in /etc/hosts? And please undo your changes to /etc/hosts.conf.

    Hi falko,

    No, without lo. It took me sometime to discover it.

    $ cat /etc/hosts
    Code:
    127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost
    127.0.1.1       ubuntu
    
    # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
    ::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
    fe00::0 ip6-localnet
    ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
    ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
    ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
    ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
    
    Yes

    original /etc/hosts.conf
    Code:
    order hosts,bind
    multi on
    
    I was not allowed to add anything here. Tks.

    What's in /etc/network/interfaces?

    What does the output of
    Code:
    ifconfig
    look like after you restart the network?
    Code:
    /etc/init.d/networking restart

    Looks the same.

    $ cat /etc/network/interfaces
    Code:
    # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system

    pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up # line maintained by pppoeconf


    Edit: * * *

    Just installed "webmin-1.300 on the server anticipating it will ease my work on configuration.

    $ whereis webmin
    webmin: /etc/webmin /usr/local/webmin

    I download the package "webmin-1.300.tar.gz" on its site, because Ubuntu repositories did not offer this package.

    Ran;
    $ sudo /etc/init.d/firewall stop
    Code:
    Password:
    Removing all iptables rules:  [End of flush]
    to stop iptables.

    Started Firefox;
    http://localhost:10000/
    http://admin:10000/
    hppt://satimis:10000/

    all no response, only hanging there. Webmin failed to start same situation as Apache2.

    Please modify /etc/network/interfaces so that it looks like this:

    Code:
    # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
    # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
    
    # The loopback network interface
    auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback
          address 127.0.0.1
          netmask 255.0.0.0
    
    auth eth0
    iface eth0 inet dhcp
    
    auto dsl-provider
    iface dsl-provider inet ppp
    provider dsl-provider
    Then restart your network:
    Code:
    /etc/init.d/networking restart

    Hi falko,

    I tried it before without result. Now I test it again.

    $ cat /etc/network/interfaces

    # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

    all can't work only hanging there. Default page of Apache2 and Webmin failed to start.


    Edit: * * *

    After deleting following lines on /etc/network/intertaces
    Code:
    auto eth0
    
    pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up # line maintained by pppoeconf
    
    On next reboot, eth0 was not up.

    $ sudo pppoeconf
    can't find it. Failed to make broadband connectiong.

    If only deleting;
    Code:
    pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up # line maintained by pppoeconf
    
    $ sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

    Please try
    Code:
    # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system

    in /etc/network/interfaces and restart the network. What's the output of
    Code:

    then?

    Solved

    Hi falko,

    Further to my late posting.

    Final /etc/network/interfaces
    Code:
    # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
    # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
    
    # The loopback network interface
    auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback
         address 127.0.0.1
         netmask 255.0.0.0
    
    auth eth0
    iface eth0 inet dhcp
    
    auto dsl-provider
    iface dsl-provider inet ppp
    provider dsl-provider
    
    # added by pppoeconf
    auto eth0
    
    #pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up # line maintained by pppoeconf
    
    $ sudo ping -c 3 yahoo.com
    failed, web site not found

    "Ping IP address" worked

    $ sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf
    Code:
    search com
    nameserver 204.11.126.131
    nameserver 64.125.134.133
    nameserver 64.125.134.132
    nameserver 208.185.179.218
    
    added follows on it;
    Code:
    nameserver 208.67.222.222
    nameserver 208.67.220.220
    
    Now connection to Internet worked on URL

    Started Firefox and evoked "localhost" on it displaying default page of
    Apache, indicating "installation of the Apache web server software on
    this system was successful"

    "http://localhost:10000/" still failed. Can't start the admin page of
    webmin


    $ sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start
    Failed. "mysqld.sock" not found

    $ sudo cat /etc/mysql/my.cnf | grep address
    Code:
    bind-address            = 192.168.1.20
    Edited /etc/mysql/my.cnf changing "bind-address" as
    Code:
    bind-address   =172.0.0.1
    $ sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start
    Now mysql started without problem

    $ sudo netstat -tap | grep mysql
    Code:
    tcp        0      0 localhost.localdo:mysql *:*
    LISTEN     5646/mysqld 
    Rebooted PC to recheck above.
    - "Ping URL" worked
    - mysql started at boot
    - default page of Apache displayed on browser.
    - login mysql with "mysql -u root -p" worked

    But still failed to start the admin page of webmin


    It is not an easy job. There is still a long way for me to explore.

    I think my problem is too many servers on the same PC plus I'm inexperienced on server-building and server-admin.

    Tks.

    Webmin problem - SOLVED

    Hi falko,

    Problem solved as follows;

    $ sudo /etc/webmin/start
    Password:
    Code:
    Starting Webmin server in /usr/local/webmin
    $ sudo ps -ef | grep webmin
    Code:
    root      5506     1  0 18:55 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/webmin/miniserv.pl /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf
    satimis   5527  5486  0 18:56 pts/2    00:00:00 grep webmin
    
    Started Firefox and evoked "http://localhost:10000" on it to start Login page

    After login satimis, Admin page started.
