Telnet connection on localhost Refused

EDIT:

I want to telnet into my web server on localhost, and request my php file from command line:

I have:

1) cd'd into the directory I want to serve, namely "/www" (hello.php is here)

2) run a server at directory www: python -m SimpleHTTPServer

3) telnet localhost 80

but "connection is refused". what am I doing wrong?

Solution

  • You're probably trying to connect to a wrong port. Check with netstat -lntp which port is your http server listening on. The process will be listed as python/pid_number.
