Subject: Possible Validation Issue in Apache Port Troubleshooting Lab
Hello KodeKloud Support Team,
I would like to report a possible issue with the task validation.
Task Summary:
The task required me to ensure that Apache was reachable on port 8083 on server stapp03 and that it could be accessed from the jump host using:
curl http://stapp03:8083
The steps I performed were:
- Logged into stapp03.
- Verified that the httpd service was running.
- Confirmed that Apache was listening on port 8083 using:
ss -tulpn | grep 8083 - Verified local connectivity:
curl http://localhost:8083 - Verified remote connectivity from the jump host:
curl http://stapp03:8083
The curl command successfully returned the Apache/CentOS test page, confirming that the service was running and reachable over the network.
However, when I submitted the task, the validator returned the following error:
‘httpd’ service on App server 1 has been stopped.
This appears inconsistent because the task was targeting stapp03 (App Server 3), and the service was confirmed to be running and reachable.
Could you please review the validation results and confirm whether there was an issue with the validator or if there is an additional requirement that was not reflected in the task description?
Thank you for your assistance.
Regards,
Yash
