Linux and Apache Problem

[PBrown]

I am having a problem, I have RH 7.2 and am running apache on Port 80. I also wanted FTP access so I activated wu_ftp to a different IP address but the same Port 80.

Now mt server gives me a forbidden message when I go to the web site IP which is different. Is that a Port 80 problem and how do I remedy the probelm.

I am a newbie as if you couldn't tell

Thanks

FTP servers don't usually listen on port 80. They listen on port 21. If you change the configuration you will need to tell your client about it when you try to connect.

Which IP? The one with the webserver or the one with the FTP server on the wrong port?

If it's the web server you need to read up on apache. If it's the FTP address you'll probably find that apache had already grabbed "all ports" for its own nefarious purposes and the message you are getting isn't from the FTP server at all.

Indeed FTP servers don't generate HTML error message in response to HTTP requests.
