I have a freshly installed CentOS 4.3. I also setup Apache Server and a 'test' web site. When I try to display 'test' web site, I get the following message:
"The connection was refused when attempting to contact www.test.net".
In httpd.conf:
User apache Group apacheThe UID/GID on files/folders for 'test' web site are all root/root.
Four years ago, I installed Apache server and had the same problem. Unfortunately, I did not write down the fix. I think the problem has something to do with UID/GID but which one or where.
I understand this is CentOS group but there might be others who ran into the same problem.
Thanks in advance for your help. I am a newbie.
Connection refused means that you can't connect to the server. This means either it isn't running or there is something blocking it along the way (like a firewall).
