12,613 PointsUbuntu server. Anybody know?
A while back I installed ubuntu server on my old laptop. I put some webpages in var/www/index.html. That worked well! Now 4-5 weeks later I turn on my server again after it being off for 4-5 weeks. I've made some pages with my knowledge from treehouse and I wanted to have them on my server. I'm using putty to connect and log in and that works well. I also use filezilla to upload the files to it. Also works! But when I try to connect to the server( via 10.0.0.5 in google chrome witch I know is correct because I checked with the router Google chrome is saying this webpage is not available. Worked before, not know. I don't believe I have done any changes, but apperantly I must have... Have anybody experienced the same and have a solution for it?

12,613 PointsPorts are open. Believe I used 80 or 22. I can access the server thorugh flezilla and add files to the server. But any browser just says this webpage is not available.
Jeffrey James
3,083 PointsSo what output did you get when you do: telnet 10.0.0.5 80

12,613 Pointstelnet 10.0.0.5 80 says: ssh-2.0-OpenSSH_6.6.1p1 Ubuntu-2ubuntu2
I have no idea what that means but I guess there is a connection? What do you think?
Edit: My server is running on ubuntu server on a old laptop. The os is the server. No vmware or virtualbox.

3,083 PointsLooks like you have the ssh service running on port 80.
Jeffrey James
3,083 PointsTry this: sudo vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
What port is it set to at the top?
jne
12,613 PointsBoth port 80 and 22 is open.

12,613 PointsSo...I tried restarting the apache2 server. This showed up. The apache server is holding on to the webpages, right? And if that can't be run, no webpages can be shown, right?
Jeffrey James
3,083 PointsWell... if ssh is taking up port 80 then... you will not be able to serve web pages through that port... If port 80 shows up in your sshd_config file, you will have to change it to port 22.
