Lab 7.3: Unable to connect to remote host.

nerlekarneeraj

I am in lab 7.3 and getting this error.

$lynx -dump http://ipvhost.example.com/index.html

Looking up ipvhost.example.com
Unable to locate remote host ipvhost.example.com.
Alert!: Unable to connect to remote host.

lynx: Can't access startfile http://ipvhost.example.com/index.html

My ipvhost.conf file is:

DocumentRoot /ipvhost/
ServerName ipvhost.example.com
<Directory /ipvhost/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>

can someone kindly help solve this issue?

Hello nerlekarneeraj,

Have you added a temporary ip address for your main ethernet adapter ?

I think your ipvhost.conf should look like this :

    <VirtualHost 192.168.1.11:80>
    DocumentRoot /ipvhost/
    ServerName ipvhost.example.com
    <Directory /ipvhost/>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Require all granted
    </Directory>
    </VirtualHost>

Where 192.168.1.11 is the ip address you added in step 1 of the lab...
