mac osx - Connection Refused for Apache 2.4 Virtual Host




I have Apache 2.4 running on Mac OS X. apachectl configtest give me: Syntax OK.



I have two virtual hosts set up, one called localhost, one called test.dev.





    DocumentRoot "/Users/psychomachine/Development/_localhost"
    ServerName localhost
    ServerAlias www.localhost
    
        Require all granted
    




    DocumentRoot "/Users/psychomachine/Development/test"
    ServerName test.dev
    ServerAlias www.test.dev
    
        Require all granted




localhost just works:



↪ curl -I -L localhost                                                                                                                                                              15:51:08

whereas test.dev doesn't:



↪ curl -I -L test.dev                                                                                                                                                               15:51:01
curl: (7) Failed to connect to test.dev port 80: Connection refused


My hosts file has an entry for test.dev, which is why I can ping test.dev and hear back from 127.0.0.1.




↪ ping test.dev                                                                                                                                                                     15:53:39

I've spent hours looking at this, but I still don't understand how it is possible to ping test.dev but still get connection refused. Apache is listening on port 80, and I am not getting a page forbidden kind of error. There is nothing in Apache logs for test.dev, because the request for test.dev never makes it to Apache.



I am missing a crucial element of the puzzle — and I hope somebody will be able to point me in the right direction.



Many thanks in advance.



Edit:
As I said, Apache is listening on 80:




sudo lsof -i ':80'                                                                                                                                                                16:54:46

Additional info 



scutil -r test.dev                                                    08:25:59

telnet test.dev 80                                                    08:26:43

telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused

127.0.0.1 test.dev is in /etc/hosts and Listen *:80 is in apache's conf.


Answer



Even though Apache was listening to port 80, this port was refusing connection. In the end this is what worked for me:




I made sure port 80 was open for TCP on all interfaces, which on OSX you do by adding



pass in proto tcp from any to any port 80


to /etc/pf.conf. Reloading pfctl didn't quite do the trick, but a reboot did. Now all my virtual hosts are accessible. And the world is in order again.

linux - iDRAC6 Virtual Media native library cannot be loaded

When attempting to mount Virtual Media on a iDRAC6 IP KVM session I get the following error: I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and: $ javaws -version Java(TM) Web Start 1.6.0_16 $ uname -a Linux aud22419-linux 2.6.28-15-generic #51-Ubuntu SMP Mon Aug 31 13:39:06 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ firefox -version Mozilla Firefox 3.0.14, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2009 mozilla.org On Windows + IE it (unsurprisingly) works. I've just gotten off the phone with the Dell tech support and I was told it is known to work on Linux + Firefox, albeit Ubuntu is not supported (by Dell, that is). Has anyone out there managed to mount virtual media in the same scenario?

ubuntu - Monitoring CPU, Mem, disk, on a single server

I've been looking for a simple starter solution for monitoring my [currently] single server hosted solution. Other than Nagios and similar, are there other good (simple) solutions people are using? Answer Everything depends on what you want. For example Munin is very simple, you can install and configure it in less then 10 minutes (on one server), it can sends alarms, make graphs from monitoring cpu, mem. apache connections, eaccellerator, disk io and many many more (it has many plugins). But if you are planning in future get some more machines, munin may not be enough. For example in munin you cant monitor state of individual processes, can't monitor changes in files (for security purpose). So if you wanna only see what is the utilization of basics parameters on your server and don't plan to buy some more servers Munin is what you are looking for, but if you wanna be alarmed when some of your service is down, take more control on what is happeninig on...

hp proliant - Smart Array P822 with HBA Mode?

We get an HP DL360 G8 with an Smart Array P822 controller. On that controller will come a HP StorageWorks D2700 . Does anybody know, that it is possible to run the Smart Array P822 in HBA mode? I found only information about the P410i, who can run HBA. If this is not supported, what you think about the LSI 9207-8e controller? Will this fit good in that setup? The Hardware we get is used but all original from HP. The StorageWorks has 25 x 900 GB SAS 10K disks. Because the disks are not new I would like to use only 22 for raid6, and the rest for spare (I need to see if the disk count is optimal or not for zfs). It would be nice if I'm not stick to SAS in future. As OS I would like to install debian stretch with zfs 0.71 as file system and software raid. I have see that hp has an page for debian to. I would like to use hba mode because it is recommend, that zfs know at most as possible about the disk, and I'm independent from the raid controller. For us zfs have many benefits, ...
