Cannot access to web server via local IP address on UBUNTU 12.10

Recently I've install Ubuntu 12.10 on my dev machine. also I've installed apache 2.2 & Php 5.3.8 and Php 5.2.17 and MySQL. Everything works fine and I can browses my sites and projects via 127.0.0.1 & Localhost keyword and Hostname But I cannot access my sites or Apache web server via Local ip address (192.168.1.5). I run this model on Laptop with Ubuntu 11.10 and can access via 192.168.1.x.

Do you have any idea about this issue please let me to know your XP in this case ?

thanks a million about your patient... Farzam.

Solution

  • Perhaps your Apache is bounded to localhost only. Look in your Apache configuration file (httpd.conf) for

    Listen 127.0.0.1:80

    and replace it with:

    Listen 80

    or

    Listen *:80

    Also check the Firewall settings, look for a the line below in the same file:

    Allow from 127.0.0.1

    and try changing it to:

    Allow from all
