Author Unable to connect to website via browser

I have configured the httpd.conf file for apache2 on my Solaris 10
box, and If I try connecting via a web browser, I get the following
error message below:

The connection has timed out

The server at listservtest.xxx.xxx is taking too long to respond.

* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try
again in a few
moments.

* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's
network
connection.

* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or
proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

----------------------------------

Telnet allows me to connect to port 80 and view the page. Example:
telnet listserv.xxx.xxx

telnet listserv.xxx.xxx 80
Trying xxx.xxx.x.xx...
Connected to listserv.xxx.xxx.
Escape character is '^]'.
GET

It displays the content of the index.html file.


Any suggestions would be Greatly appreciated!

Why is the browser reporting 'listservTEST' while your telnet
says 'listserv' ?

Please report _in full_ the error message and what you do at the
command prompt. DO NOT EDIT OUT PART OF THE MESSAGES, it will prevent
anybody to spot eventual errors. Anyway, from what you say it doesn't
seem a problem in Apache, it looks more a problem in the configuration
of your browse (like, a Proxy configuration or similar).

I entered listservtest.

I have tried three web browsers and had no success(they time out).

take davids advice though, to me its probably a dns issue, but who
knows
if we knew what you typed at the command prompt we would know what you
are asking apache to do.
Also your setup, do you use vhosts, and also what does the error log
say not just the browser - which is user land stuff and not very
informative.

Have you tried another browser? another machine? Another network?
Have you tried wget? Ping? traceroute?

I couldnt get telnet to work
telnet 129.173.1.59 80

no connection was possible for me.

Is this what you type when you do telnet:

telnet 129.173.1.59 80[enter]
GET / HTTP/1.1[enter]
Host: linusold.ucis.dal.ca[enter][enter]

So at the moment it seems like a firewall, port forwarding, or apache:
<Directory />
Order, Allow,Deny
Deny from All
</Directory>

you say telnet works for you, which tips the balance in favour of a
firewall issue, or a specific
Allow from _your_IP_ in apache
check your error.log, does apache even see the requests made?
