Hi All,

I have install GUI on my Debian machine. Now when in a file browser i type 127.0.0.0 or the localhost, it doesn't work.

I feel for this i need Appache server but i already installed that.

Can anyone guide me how to browse myserver using file browser.

Thanks & Regards

Hi All,

I am unable to run http://localhost/

i am having ssh package on my debian system so when i tried to ssh localhost
it gave the following:

===============================================
Authenticity of host '10.208.25.210 (10.208.25.210)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 44:fd:45:4d:c0:69:7b:76:9c:48:c3:28:e9:65:bd:fd.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?

==========================================

when i say yes then next time it doesnt give that error.

i am having httpd service running in my debian server but still unable to to http://localhost.

Can anybody guide me.

Thanks & Regards

Apparantly apache is not running, or not running correctly. Try /etc/init.d/apache start from the commandline (if you have apache 1.3), or /etc/init.d/apache2 start. What version are you running? Try the error logs (/var/log/apache(2)/error.log), try to see any bootup error messages, etc. Try 'ps aux | grep apache' on the command line too, to see what processes if any are running with apache in the name.

Accessing your server through SSH is completely different than (and independent of) accessing it through Apache. The fact that you cannot access it through http but you can through ssh simply means that the latter server is working while the former is not.

That "error" you quoted is indeed not an error, but comes up everytime you try to access an SSH server for the first time. The fact that it did not show up subsequent times is expected.
