Server Error: Client denied by server configuration

Postby gaggid1 » 09. May 2012 16:21

Hi All..

Please help me out with this..

I am running XAMPP on a windows 7 machine and running some websites on local intranet. Somehow the websites stopped working on intranet.

Error it shows: Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage. Diagnose the connection.

When i checked opening the website from the server itself it's working fine. Website is coming up on the localhost address as well as the domain that i have defined for my XAMPP server. Please note i am not using VHOST to redirect it some directory. I am redirecting to XAMPP Server IP through my DNS.

I am also attaching the XAMPP error log. Please help me understand what has gone wrong and how to bring this up....

They tried to access the XAMPP welcome page from a client PC - right?

Yes people access the homepage using their computer on local intranet.

But the strange thing is that the website is running from the browser on server itself.

I tried opening it by localhost - it worked.

I tried opening it by domain - tlc-campus = it worked

I tried opening it by IP address - it worked.

So how come other are not able to see the website using the same address or ip......

However i am going to check with xamp security concept in a minute and reply you back with outcome...
Thanks mate for quick response .....

I was ONLY addressing the Server denial issue -

The other issue is almost certainly URL/DNS resolution related. you might try (for starters) a hosts file entry on one of the client machines. Its out of scope here really, but IF the 'hosts' entry gets things working, you have a DNS resolution issue.

Good Luck

Thanks for your help,

However issue was something else. Port 80 got blocked due to some updates that went into firewall. Turned off firewall. Things are back as they should be. thanks.

Glad it worked out -

However (cautionary observation) --

The firewall issue would not be related to the error log issues. The error log would never contain a problem that was created by a blocked request, as the server would not receive the request. So the problem with serving your 'pages', was unrelated to the original question "Server Error: Client denied by server configuration".

I'll totally agree that "non-locatable URL's" can equally be caused by a firewall or a DNS problem as they are both transport issues, not server configuration issues.


Good Luck with your project.
