johnporter29 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I'm not sure if I've posted this in the right section, so apologies if I haven't ;) I'm currently trying to delve more into the world of Linux and looking to build myself a server based on Fedora 15. This will be for now a virtual PC created using Virtual Box. Last night I created the said virtual PC and installed Fedora 15. This was done by the boot from the Live CD and choosing Install to Hard Drive. I installed Virtual Box Additions and everything appears to be working as expected. I also installed Apache, MySql, PHP and PHPMyAdmin too, I can browse the test page, access PHPMyAdmin from with the Fedora PC, but not using the Host PC and I'm not sure why this is. I can ping the Virtual PC from my Host PC without issue. Any pointers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ichi Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Check the firewall settings, port 80 might be blocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kami- Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Is your Apache server "online" or just enabled for local testing? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnporter29 Posted June 14, 2011 Author Share Posted June 14, 2011 Thanks guys, I did have a look at the firewall and got completely lost :s So I've took a completely different root. I am now using a netbook instead of a virtual PC and couldn't get Fedora 15 to install using a USB Stick, so I've installed Ubuntu 11.04 and have that working ok along with apache!

johnporter29 Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 Has anyone got any links to websites that cover iptables under Ubuntu 11.04? Can't seem to get my head round it and need some guidance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tews Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Uncomplicated Firewall (UFW) is a much easier way of managing iptables ... Uncomplicated Firewall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ichi Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Iptables works the same on every distro, more so if you control them through the command line: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo (the basics). http://www.frozentux.net/iptables-tutorial/iptables-tutorial.html (this one is a bit tough to chew). Frontends like ufw or firestarter just add some extra tables to organize their sets of rules, but those still follow the iptables syntax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
