There’s an iptables entry that doesn’t allow connection to the web server from an external PC.
To remove it, you need to launch iptables with flags similar to these ones:
iptables -D RH-Firewall-1-INPUT 10
Basically you need to remove the REJECT rule
Better, you can act directly on the configuration of iptables:
system-config-securitylevel
and customize the filtering rules
The configuration file is /etc/sysconfig/iptables
Alternatively (you don’t need system-config-securitylevel), you can insert in the command line manually all the rules you’d like and then save them permanently through this command:
/sbin/service iptables save
Installing PHP5
yum install php
yum install php-gd
The Mysql client is already installed, whilst the server isn’t.
yum install mysql-server
yum install php-mysql
/etc/init.d/mysqld start
Setting up MySQL root password:
mysqladmin -u root password NEWPASSWORD
Now we want the Apache Webserver and the MySQL Server to start at the boot of the machine.
Let’s find out which runlevel we are running:
runlevel
To set the services to start at the boot:
/usr/sbin/ntsysv
