I've set up CentOS 6.x on an old fujitsu server and want to use it as webserver. I can access apache via localhost and 127.0.0.1 and I can already access webmin via port localhost:10000 (whatever that's for ^^) BUT I can't access it via the server's ip adress and my laptop(via LAN over a router). What am I doing wrong? Is that a firewall problem or something?

CentOS is installed on ESXi virtualisation software but I think that shouldn't make any difference...

In centos 6.x iptables (a firewall) is enabled for default.

"service iptables stop" to stop iptables

If you want open some port on the firewall follow this guide http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-rhel-linux-open-port-using-iptables/

ha, the command "service iptables stop" didn't work but your hint with the firewall was good! found the solution to disable it here: lifelinux.com/… – yourmother Apr 22 '12 at 18:59
