Apache on LAN

Question

Apache HTTP Server

Hi guys. How to configure apache to work on a network that does not have access to the Internet?

Let's say apache2 is on a computer with ip 192.168.1.3 (OpenSuse), such a virtual host is registered:

<VirtualHost 192.168.1.3>
        ServerName  jet.lh
        ServerAlias *.jet.lh

        DocumentRoot #path

        ErrorLog  # error_log
        CustomLog # custom_log
</VirtualHost>

And added an entry to /etc/hosts:

192.168.1.3 jet.lh


Jet.lh opens in the browser.

Then, we take the second computer, ip 192.168.1.4 (Win 7), we write to the hosts:

192.168.1.3 jet.lh


At startup , it ping jet.lhpings 192.168.1.3, the ping is excellent.

But when opened in a browser (Chrome) jet.lh - "This web page is not available" (ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT).

Somehow there were no such problems with a public server, everything started with a half-kick. It seems that you need to set up a firewall, or add some kind of apache to Apache, but my knowledge of system administration was not enough. Help =)

Answer 1

1. if it's only a LAN, a firewall is not needed. OpenSUSE has GUI (and ncurses) yast, and on top of iptables is a suse-firewall wrapper, but you can also use iptables:
/sbin/service iptables stop
/sbin/service iptables save
/sbin/chkconfig iptables off
2. Check where Apache is bound:
netstat -atunp
?
3. Finally, we look at Apache's error_log

Answer 2

Check the firewall, the settings are list in Apache.
Go to the IP address from the second computer.
