Check your listen statement in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf. It
should be:<br>
Listen 8080<br>
<br>
If that is correct, run tcpdump (ctrl+c to quit) and then try
externally connecting :<br>
tcpdump -n -i eth0 port 80 or port 8080<br>
<br>
If you get traffic on port 8080 then you have an iptables problem.<br>

Hi all, I'm having a bit of trouble setting up a new web server.
The last time I set up up it went smoothly, but for some reason I
can't connect to the HTTP port on this one.<br>
<br>
Any clues what I'm missing?<br>
<br>
I can:<br>
<br>
1. SSH into my server from an external workstation.<br>
2. Ping my server by DNS name from an external workstation.<br>
3. I can load the default web page when I'm SSH'd in, this works
fine:<br>
<pre class="jive-pre"><code class="jive-code jive-java">$ wget localhost
--2012-10-04 17:44:35-- http:<font color="darkgreen">//localhost/</font>

However, I cannot connect via HTTP externally, even using the IP
address:<br>
<br>
4. Unable to connect Firefox can't establish a connection to the
server at 54.243.205.88.<br>
<br>
I'm not sure where I could have fubared this. I did try to
redirect the ports from 80 to 8080, perhaps that was done
incorrectly?<br>

I thought this should be exactly the same as the last time I did
it, so I don't know why it wouldn't work. <br>
Here's the script I used to set up the iptables:<br>
<br>
iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -d localhost -p tcp --dport 80 -j
REDIRECT --to-ports 8080<br>
iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -d 10.211.163.215 -p tcp --dport 80 -j
REDIRECT --to-ports 8080<br>
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j
REDIRECT --to-ports 8080<br>
/etc/init.d/iptables save<br>
/etc/init.d/iptables restart<br>
<br>
<br>
I'm completely at a loss how to troubleshoot this further, any
advice is much appreciated.<br>
