Problems setting up apache2 webserver on Ubuntu 14.04 server

[Jake]

I was wanting to toy around with some apache2 on my unmanaged ubuntu 14.04 vps, however I ran into some problems immediately after install.

I started to follow the guide here: http://www.nfoservers.com/forums/viewto ... 46&t=11140

You can go to "http://www.xxx.yyy.zzz/" - where "www.xxx.yyy.zzz" is the IP address for your VDS - in your web browser and see the Apache test page.

I try to navigate to that page in my web browser... nothing. No clue how to debug or where to even start with fixing this. Also, I'm a bit new with linux, but I'm wanting to learn these things so I can get myself around a little easier. I'd like to stay away from a reset if I can, as I already have minecraft and ts3 setup on this server.

What happens when you try running

Code: Select all

service apache2 restart

Already attempted that, and did it once again just for the point. No result. Website doesn't even pretend like it's trying, just goes straight to the page not found.

Here's the IP address if it can help anything at all: 162.248.89.192

Also.. just pinged that to out rule that, I can ping it quickly with 0% loss. I am also already running ts3 and minecraft on this, both of which I can connect to with no problems.

I believe the problem might have been involved with my initial setup and that I may have did something wrong, I have followed several online guides on how to remove it, but still no luck. Again, trying to stay as far away from resetting the server completely if possible.

I fixed it all. Thanks for the dedicated support guys, but I just decided to do a stock reset on my server. Apparently my newbishness at linux screwed something up the first time around. All is well
