Preview website

Hi, I am an HND student and use virtualmin for one of my classes. When i click on services and try to click on preview website i keep getting the following error: Failed to connect to 80.229.71.56:80 : Connection refused I desperately need a solution to this problem.

your virtualmin is reachable under http not https
your server is not reachable under port 80
is apache running, is a website created under /home, is there anything in the log files, did you install with the install.sh script, what OS?

does force9.net mean anything to you? as there are nameserver loops involved

Apache server is running. I amn’t sure where the website is to be created but I do have it in htdocs folder on my pc. I am unsure of the script files as I am a complete ameture with this and don’t really understand what I am doing. I am using windows xp sp3 and I have never heard of force9.

Can you tell me how to change the settings to stop this error.

sorry I have no idea about virtualmin running on a windows xp machine.

domains in virtualmin are under /home/domainname/public_html not htdocs. But that could be different under windows
You have a wamp install perhaps, it is hard to guess with your summier information.

I’d suggest you check your logfiles first for errors. /var/log/

you can install a virtualbox and install centos in it. then install virtualmin on that.

you will then have a natural environment and it won’t change your harddrive/winxp

sorry i havent downloaded it. http://murray.hndcomputing.net:10000/ My lecturer set this up for us to use but its purely online.

sorry i have no clue here.
may i suggest to ask your lecturer? or per haps others can chip in their wisdom
