problem trying to set up webserver

[terry_5454]

Hi, I am trying to set up a webserver just for myself to play around with, I am running Red Hat 9 with Apache. My problem is when someone tries to view my website from the web it times out, but I can see the index.html page on the local machine. Any help, thoughts, ideas are greatly appreciated.

Check your firewall configuration. Sounds like it's blocking port 80 (default http port).

Yes it was the firewall, just had to enable http now everything works great, thanks for the help.
