I have apache webserver setup behind a wireless router (linksys) I have a name based vitual websites setup. I can ping the individual websites with 0 packet loss but can't seem to get any pages to appear. Is this a router issue or a apache issue. Should i set up IP based websites? Thanks for any help you can give. At first you don't succeed try try again

What sort of errors do you get when you try to view a page? Is it timing out? Are you able to view any sites locally on the server?

Are you pinging the IP addresses of the websites or thier URL? If you can ping the IP address, but not the URL, then it can be a DNS issue. Search Engines Are Your Friends Morpheus: There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path. "The Matrix"

The ping does not tell you if your web-site is fine or not. dig it !!! simple dig: dig +trace @(nameserver) (www.domainname.com) (a ns all) you can find some additional info about DIG using your terminal console. [xxxx]>man dig You will get a result like this: [xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]> dig +trace @12.152.184.135 a www.linux.com ; <<>> DiG 9.3 <<>> +trace @12.152.184.135 a www.linux.com ; (1 server found) ;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch ;; got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 23786 ;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 5, ADDITIONAL: 5 ;; QUERY SECTION: ;; www.linux.com, type = A, class = IN ;; ANSWER SECTION: www.linux.com. 2H IN A 66.35.250.177 ;; AUTHORITY SECTION: linux.com. 2H IN NS ns1.ostg.com. linux.com. 2H IN NS ns1.vasoftware.com. linux.com. 2H IN NS ns2.ostg.com. linux.com. 2H IN NS ns2.vasoftware.com. linux.com. 2H IN NS ns3.vasoftware.com. ;; ADDITIONAL SECTION: ns1.ostg.com. 2H IN A 66.35.250.10 ns1.vasoftware.com. 1H IN A 12.152.184.135 ns2.ostg.com. 2H IN A 66.35.250.11 ns2.vasoftware.com. 1H IN A 12.152.184.136 ns3.vasoftware.com. 1H IN A 66.35.250.12 ;; Total query time: 209 msec ;; FROM: xxxxxxxxxxxxx to SERVER: 12.152.184.135 ;; WHEN: Wed Dec 14 10:18:49 2005 ;; MSG SIZE sent: 31 rcvd: 233 Hope it will help. !

Check that your web server is running and that you can see port 80 open with nmap.

in ssh type service httpd restart should try and restart apache for you if it dont work itw ill give you an error why
