Topic: primary page only accessible via https://

[Kurt]

Hi all,

For the last couple of days i've only been able to access my primary webpage via https://... Is this something that I have unknowingly installed or has my provider blocked port 80?

Thanks

Happened to me last weekend too...

When I issue an ps -gaux|grep http  I just could see two httpd-a about admin version of httpd. So I issue the same command on another SME 5.5 Server and saw a dozen of http!

After a lot of research I discovered that my httpd.conf files has twice this line (near the bottom) :  Listen 0.0.0.0:80
When I commented out one of those lines, I coudl restart httpd process with service httpd start.

If you haven´t even admin pages available you can use : service httpd-admin start to get it back!

Good luck!

PS.: Also could to be your ISP blocking 80...

I have confirmed that my isp does indeed block port 80. I can set up my dyndns account to forward requests to a different port ie 8080. How do I set up the server to accept requests from a different port?

Or you can do in a different way... just configure your router to receive packets from 8080 and send them to 80 on your server.
Not every router can do this... I know most USR can, Speed Touch also!
But Zyxel cannot!

If you wish to change your SME to listen on different ports  I´ll need to know what version of SME do you are running. I have seen this for 5.12 and have changed the file 35Listen80 for 5.5 but without any luck! So I´m unable to listen on another port than 80 on 5.5 but it´s ok with 5.12 (There is a Dan Brown How To about this!)

I hope this help...
