500 connection refused Day 19: Install and Configure Web Application

Hello,

I did these steps :

ssh tony@stapp01
sudo su -
yum install  -y openssh-clients
systemctl restart sshd

from jump host : 

 scp -r /home/thor/news tony@stapp01:/tmp
 scp -r /home/thor/cluster tony@stapp01:/tmp

back to stap01 

 yum install  -y httpd
vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf   // change the port as requested 
systemctl enable httpd && systemctl start httpd && systemctl status  httpd
mv /tmp/news/  /var/www/html/
mv /tmp/cluster/ /var/www/html/


curl http://stapp01:8080/news

And then I get a 500 connection refused error message

What did I do wrong here ?

Hi @rwobben

After installing httpd, did you change the Apache port? It should be updated to 8080, as the default port is 80.

#3

yes,

I did :

vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

to change the port

in my challenge I had to change it to port 5000 as I remember it right

#4

If you changed the port to 5000 as the task requires, you should use curl with this port instead of 8080. You can refer to the solution using Ansible here:

Finally it worked after several days
