It seems to be a pure problem of hostname. I have now given the hostname 'cathy.alfa.net' in my '/etc/hosts' and '/etc/rc.conf' file. The contens os both the files are as under: Here 192.168.1.14 is the ip of the machine running apache. The output of /etc/rc.conf file is confusing me because it lists the hostname more than once. /etc/hosts--> ----------- ::1 localhost.alfanet.com localhost 127.0.0.1 localhost.alfanet.com localhost 192.168.1.14 cathy.alfa.net ---------------- /etc/rc.conf---> ------------ ~ ~ ~ :q! cathy@alfa# vi /etc/rc.conf # -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # Thu Apr 20 00:45:45 2006 # Created: Thu Apr 20 00:45:45 2006 # Enable network daemons for user convenience. # Please make all changes to this file, not to /etc/defaults/rc.conf. # This file now contains just the overrides from /etc/defaults/rc.conf. defaultrouter="192.168.1.1" hostname="cathy.alfa.net" #hostname="cathy@alfa.alfanet.com" ifconfig_rl0="inet 192.168.1.14 netmask 255.255.255.0" ipv6_enable="YES" linux_enable="YES" moused_enable="YES" saver="blank" #sendmail_enable="NONE" sshd_enable="YES" usbd_enable="YES" #apache_enable="YES" squid_enable="YES" samba_enable="YES" #dansguardian_enable="YES" # -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # Thu Apr 20 01:39:35 2006 ifconfig_rl0="inet 192.168.1.14 netmask 255.255.255.0" ipv6_enable="YES" defaultrouter="192.168.1.1" hostname="cathy@alfa.alfanet.com" # -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # Sat Apr 22 23:00:07 2006 ifconfig_dc0="inet 192.168.1.16 netmask 255.255.255.0" ipv6_enable="YES" defaultrouter="192.168.1.1" hostname="cathy@alfa.alfanet.com" # -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # Tue Apr 25 17:25:23 2006 defaultrouter="192.168.1.1" hostname="cathy@alfa.alfanet.com" ----------- Present situation is that 'apachectl start' does not output anything as if it had been successfully executed. But when I check with 'apachectl status' I get following error: Looking up localhost Making HTTP connection to localhost Alert!: Unable to connect to remote host. lynx: Can't access startfile http://localhost/server-status Thanks for help please. __________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
