# The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that

the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating

redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName

specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to

match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this

value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.

However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.

ServerName www.example.com

ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

DocumentRoot /var/www/html

Available loglevels: trace8, …, trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,

error, crit, alert, emerg.

It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular

modules, e.g.

LogLevel info ssl:warn

ErrorLog ${APACHELOGDIR}/error.log

CustomLog ${APACHELOGDIR}/access.log combined

For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are

enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to

include a line for only one particular virtual host. For example the

following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only

after it has been globally disabled with "a2disconf".

Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf

vim: syntax=apache ts=4 sw=4 sts=4 sr noet

On the server:

netstat -lntp

This will tell you which ports and interfaces apache is listening on.

If it does listen on the public IP and HTTP, test whether you can reach the port from the outside with e.g. curl, telnet or nc. If that's not the case, your options are:

1. A WAN problem between you and Linode; try the same test from another location

2. Internal firewall on your Linode is blocking the traffic, iptables -L

3. Sanctions on your Linode account restrict traffic to it

thanks very much. I was able to have someone with much greater knowledge look at the system and it was listening on a different port, not set by me. We decided to wipe and start over as there were other security flaws on the server which needed attention.

Thanks very much for getting back to me.
