Apache ?Connection refused when attempting to contact www.hingedmind.com?

Sapient — Wed, 03 Aug 2005 14:38:30 +0000

I am running SUSE Enterprise 9 with Apache 2.x. I have recently relocated and everything worked fine on my previous ISP (Cable). In the relocation I changed Cable companies and now when I attempt to connect LOCALLY, I get the following message; ?Connection refused when attempting to contact www.hingedmind.com?

When I attempt to connect from another machine on the same network, I get the standard ?The page cannot be displayed.?

Any thoughts?

Would I get this message if the Cable Provider blocked ports?

When I shutdown Apache and restart, there are no errors generated. I am able to see the Apache Server Status when I connect localhostserver-status.

I have changed the VirtualHost to reflect a single virtualhost www.hingedmind.com. I am listening on port 80. I tried port 5000 and nothing changed.

The DNS servers and gateway appear to be reflecting correct values.

Integration of Linux and MS Server 2003 on one network

I am in the process of installing an ERP product that runs on MS SQL Server 2000 and so I will need an MS Server 2003 box on which to run the database. So far simple enough. I also want the run the network using Linux wherever possible – Linux (SUSE Probably) for DNS, DHCP, FIREWALL, and file servers (Samba) the Intranet and Extranet servers will probably end up running apache and we will use PHP and Mysql to hold databases for these. My question is can I easily run MS Server 2003 on such a Linux oriented network – or does 2003 insist on running Active Directory and “take over the domain”?

I have heard that MS SQL Server insists on being part of an Active Directory tree! Any truth in that ?

Anyone have experience of such a set up?

Thanks in Anticipation.

SUSE Enterprise 9 / pure-ftp

Sapient — Wed, 08 Jun 2005 05:25:01 +0000

I am attempting to run pure-ftp. Every time I start it in YAST it fails with a run code of 7. At times it will run and then when I refresh it stops with a 3.

I have the group and user setup. The config looks right. Everything appears as it should.

Does anyone know of any issues?

I going out of town and want to be able to update some html files remotely. Was thinking this was the best way.

Thanks
