• I’m running an internal site using Apache 2.2.3 on CentOS 5 with MySQL 5.0.77. When I connect to this site from the server (localhost), everything works well. When I try to connect from another computer, although the front page of the site will show up normally, when I try to click on any link I get errors such as, “Alert!: Unable to connect to remote host. (-Lynx)” Firewalls and SELinux are disabled on both machines. I’ve modified the “Allow from” section of httpd.conf to read “Allow from ALL”. (Normally there are 61 IPs explicitly allowed.) I have changed ownership/group to apache (the httpd process owner/group) on the directories holding the linked-to files, as well as the files themselves, which are 777 as well. I’m suspecting it’s something to do with WordPress, because the front page shows up ok. If the remote machine doesn’t have permissions to access the site at all, it gets a descriptive message to that effect (tested). Thanks for any help.
