I have just installed nginx and apache on a dedicated server with redhat, how ever when I go to http://65.111.167.39 I get a connection failure. I tried changing nginx port con conf, but it didn't work neither.

Both services are running:

/etc/init.d/httpd status httpd (pid 22498) is running...

/etc/init.d/nginx status nginx (pid 22534) is running...

Some advices? By the way I have no experience at all, so anything could be missing..

Define "doesn't show anything"? A blank page? A 404 page? A connection failure? – ceejayoz Feb 18 '10 at 21:21

does netstat or lsof -i show you the process listening on port 80 ? – micah Feb 19 '10 at 4:13

You may want to check if the default firewall is running:

iptables -nL

Sounds simple but I've seen many people run in circles before remembering to check this.

Run a netstat so you can be sure the service is actually bound to the port.

Note that you cannot bind both nginx and apache to the same port.

using "service iptables stop" worked both ports (nginx and apache) now I'll read about iptables to learn how to use them correctly. Thankyou. – quarry32 Feb 19 '10 at 17:30

Also check /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny

Try and connect from the redhat box http://127.0.0.1. If you only have a shell you can use lynx or links.

this also helped me, 127.0.0.1 showed the page correctly. – quarry32 Feb 20 '10 at 15:33

Please, show the output of netstat -ntlp.Also I'd like to see your nginx.conf and httpd.conf
