[Wlug] apache

23 Jul 2001


      i am trying to set up a server using apache. at this point i do not want it
to be connected to the internet so i am trying to use a second computer to
log on with. here is what i have set up:

1.  server ip=192.168.1.1 ( i am using the ip and by-passing name resolution
at this point).
    i can ping 192.168.1.1 from the server as well as localhost.  i can also
get the default
    html page up.  the only changes i have made to http.conf is:

       a. Listen *:80
       b. ServerName 192.168.1.1
       c. i added the following

             <Directory "/var/www/html">
               Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
               AllowOverride None
               Order allow,deny
               Allow from all
             </Directory>

    i can ping from server to client and client to server.

2.  client when i try to log on to the server, i get 'netscapes network
connection was
    refused by the server 192.168.1.1.  the server may not be accepting
connections or may
    be busy.'


any help would be appreciated
