Dear Readers- I was able to successfully set up my linux box as a standalone web server for a program I use (for those familiar with crystallography, the program is CNS). However, I upgraded from Suse 6.3 to 7.0 and now when I try to access the CNS files using my machine as a web server, Netscape says it is unable to locate the server (my machine). I am including some information from some files and output from some commands to give a little more info. Any help would be appreciated. By the way, the program CNS requires perl in order for the web server function to work. Here's some info about my machine: Output from ifconfig -a: lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3924 Metric:1 RX packets:94 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:94 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol POINTOPOINT NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:1262 errors:3 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:3 TX packets:1134 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:10 sit0 Link encap:IPv6-in-IPv4 NOARP MTU:1480 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 Output from netstat -r: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo Content of /etc/hosts: # # hosts This file describes a number of hostname-to-address # mappings for the TCP/IP subsystem.
