Facing Issue With Blogger. Posts On Apache Will Be Delayed

Hi all,

We are facing issues with posting apache posts on linuxnix.com. This is because the apache code is messing up with html rendring of blogger. So we are not able to post Virtulhost codes in the site. We will come up with a solution to resolve this issue. Mean time we are continuing with other posts. We will let you people know when we will start the apache posting once again.

Thanks,
Admin

How To Access Web Server Through IP Address?

How to access web server through ip address(not the default site)?

Step1 : check for the package installed or not

#rpm -qa | grep httpd

Step2 : Install the package

#yum install httpd

Step3 : Create the root web directory and a test index.html for this testing.

I want to create my web directory in /ipbasehost

#mkdir /ipbasehost

Now create index.html and try to write something in to that file then save the file.

#vi /ipbasehost/index.html

save and exit the file.

Step4 : Now edit the httpd.config file

#vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Go to last line and write the below content

DocumentRoot /ipbasehost/

DirectoryIndex index.html

Save the file and exit.

Let me explain above four lines

=> This indicates we are creating a virtualhost who's IP addresse is 192.168.0.1

DocumentRoot /ipbasehost/ => This indicates where is my document root i.e., all my web content should be placed under /ipbasehost/ So this content will be published through website.

DirectoryIndex index.html => This indicates what is the default file to be open when this site is accessed. So when you type ip address(here its 192.168.0.1) in browser it will present with

index.html content.

=>This is to specify the end of that virtual host.

Now save the file and exit.

Step5 : Check for the syntax errors in the httpd.conf file before restarting the apache service.

#httpd -t

Or

#httpd -k graceful

Step6 : Now start the service and then add it to booting scripts so that it will start automatically at every boot of the system

#service httpd restart

#chkconfig httpd on

Step7 : Now check the site using 192.168.0.1 ip address in your browser.
