Centos 7 can't access local server via browser.

Edit: Never mind I didn't realize the firewall was active by default

Here are some things you might try:

Restart all the services.

Check IP of server:

Code:

ifconfig

Check firewall:

Code:

iptables -L

What does the Apache config say? It might not be listening on that IP but instead listening on the host name. (It's a long time since I've used Apache, so apologise if I'm not specific).

Linode carries good documentation. You might want to compare it to the servermom one.

Thank you for the response. I literally solved it a minute before you replied. Sorry for wasting your time.

It was the firewall in the end.

Glad you got it sorted!

I've always used debian for servers and that has no firewall by default. I can see pros and cons for doing it both ways.

Only reason I went for centos was due to all previous hosts I've used ran it so it was somewhat familiar to me(although never having set one up from scratch).

Its only due to being given an old server I've decided to learn it for myself from scratch. Good thing to add to my CV seeing as its close to redhat.

point of note for others reading this.

CentOS 7 doesnt use iptables by default it uses firewalld.
