Troubleshooting new web server setup

by jeff.friend . Updated 16 years, 11 months ago

I recently purchased a managed server at Savvis.com. I have been working to get it up and running for the past week or so wit no success. My setup is as follows:

I have a Linux Red Hat server that hosts a Linux Red Hat VMware Virtual Machine. I am using bridged networking for the Virtual Machine and both the host and the VM have a public IP.

The issue I am having is I can communicate between the host and the guest via SSH and ICMP but I am unable to run the website on the VM from my computer. I have recently had Savvis Allow all ports to narrow down what is causing my problem so I don’t think it is a firewall issue. I am able to connect to the host via SSH and have access to both the host and the guest via the command prompt but that is about it. I do not have any GUI access. If anyone has any ideas what so ever for me to check in order to get this up and running I would greatly appreciate it. I getting ready to pull my third all nighter this week and its starting to drain my brain.

BTW I am currently using the exact same virtual machine on a windows box and everything works perfectly.

Thanks for whatever you can offer,

-Jeff
