Apache httpd doesn't respond to remote browser

  • 772

I installed httpd 2.4.10-2.fc20 and it runs:

$ systemctl -l | grep httpd.*running
httpd.service         loaded active running   The Apache HTTP Server

... and listens:

$ netstat -pant | egrep 'PID|httpd'
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address       Foreign Address     State       PID/Program name
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:80          0.0.0.0:*           LISTEN      29709/httpd

It responses as expected if accessed from a local browser on this Linux machine.

Trying to access it from FF on a Windows machine in my Intranet I get a network timeout. ssh connections (including Xming) work like a charm so it's obviously not a networking problem. I don't have a personal firewall running on this Windows that could block something.

I've seen Apache listens, but doesn't respond but this didn't help. I disabled iptables:

$ systemctl status iptables
iptables.service - IPv4 firewall with iptables
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/iptables.service; disabled)
   Active: inactive (dead)

This bugs me since hours and I searched the net up and down and tried various things - to no avail.

    You need to put a rule in your firewall to accept all connections incoming to port 80/tcp, try to do this:

     # firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=80/tcp
 # firewall-cmd --reload

    Remember that the firewall service name is firewalld, if you want to disable your firewall, you need to execute the follow command:

    # systemctl disable firewalld
# systemctl stop firewalld
