installed CentOS ...

i just recently installed centos 5 and followed the step-by-step procedures, i tried to access my www.domain.tld but sad to say i just prompted "unable to connect", but when is access it using the localhost on my browser the "apache 2 test page" is showing. i tried to edit the httpd.conf but sometimes i cannot access the internet at all.

please help me. thanks.

 

What does netstat -tap tell? Is Apache also listening on the external IP?

any iptables rules? (-> iptables -L)

Can you post the top part of the httpd.conf where the listening stuff is written?

 

first this is the result of netstat -tap

i tried to modify my httpd.conf but i am afraid i might end up not accessing the internet at all, i hope i put the rigt info down.
