displaying html page through apache - apache2

i am using ubuntu and i have a html page named first.html at home/sanu directory and i have apache2 installed and running.i want host this page through apache from my pc how can i do that. (My pc's IP is :218.248.80.51) .i have tried to access "http://218.248.80.51/sanu/first.html" but its not working(Google Chrome could not connect to 218.248.80.51) in my browser.plz help me.

By default Apache points to /var/www on ubuntu, it would required extra configuration to get it to point at your home directory. Try moving your html file there, then you should be able to access it through your browser at http://localhost/first.html
To host the page for public viewing you'd need to configure your pc's & router's firewalls correctly to allow port 80.

Project inside webapp tomcat8 does not run in webpage

I am trying to run my application using tomcat8 inside the Apache2 virtual machine, using MacOS.
The IP address is: http://143.167.11.2:8080
and this the view when I run the link on the browser:
I have installed tomcat8 inside this apache2 VM using: apt-get install tomcat8 by following this instruction: https://www.linode.com/docs/development/frameworks/apache-tomcat-on-ubuntu-16-04/
When I run this address http://143.167.11.2:8080 the result is the same, it just shows this same picture . It does not show the tomcat home page.
I have tried to run this: ./startup.sh and inside the terminal and it started.
But when I run the linked address http://143.167.11.2:8080 the result is same, it shows apache home page.
I tried to put my project inside /var/lib/tomcat8/webapps and then tried to run: http://143.167.11.2:8080/visualisation-dataproject.
But the result like below:
Any idea how can I run my project (that I put on the webapps folder) on the web browser?
Apache2 is usually use for PHP project. Tomcat is usually for java project. There are some possibility why you can not run tomcat on the web browser. One of the reason is you have not install tomcat8 properly. Even you have install it, you should check it really work or not. If it work on the VM, maybe the problem when you set the port for tomcat in server.xml.
To check server.xml, try : sudo nano /etc/tomcat8/server.xml, and find <Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1 ... line.
And try to change the port 8080 to another port e.g: 8081. Why? to prevent tomcat8 server running with same port with another server such as apache2.
After that try the step on this link: https://askubuntu.com/a/434085/856656 it should work.

Moodle unable to access using domainName

Installing MOODLE_33_STABLE origin/MOODLE_33_STABLE on Ubuntu 16.04.2
I am able to install it and , access it with my vm's ip,
but when i try to change
$CFG->wwwroot = 'http://ipaddress'
to
$CFG->wwwroot = 'http://somerandomname.com'
in config.php,
i am unable to access it using somerandomname.com in my lan.
i have also mapped the vm ip in hosts file of both apache2 and of the other systems in lan, still it shows HTTP ERROR 502, in chrome.
and Host not found when i check the chrome console.
if i am missing something guide me.
i want to access the moodle installed on my VM across my local connection with some domainname rather than the IP .
Thank you.
Sounds like you have to try classical debugging:
Try to access your moodle instance on the specific port, using eg. telnet
telnet somerandomname.com 80
Delete browser cache or open the URL in your incognito mode
Check the apache error log on Ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log.
Check out further possibilities which are causing this 502 error:

Apache2: userdir module

Recently, I installed Apache2 on mu Ubuntu machine (http://www.example.com) and I enabled userdir module. I wanted to know what userdir module actually does behind the scene. As I can access http://example.com/~theuser by properly configuring userdir module, does that mean it creates a virtual box for the specific URL http:/ /www. example. om/ ~theuser? If not, how virtual box concept is different that creating an URL http: //www. example. com/ ~theuser using userdir module?
Userdir module just maps the /~username/ urls to each user's own public_html directory or any other user specific directory you have configured. That's not a virtual box, it's just alias for a directory in a single web server.

how do i use apache2 server for hosting a website?

I am using ubuntu and I have some html pages. I want to host a website from my PC at my home. How can I do this using apache2? I am new to Apache2 if any one knows how to do this, please let me know.
The easiest way to publish HTML files with apache is by putting them in /home/your-user-name-please-do-replace-me/public_html, making sure that your apache is installed and then start apache. How to make apache start after a reboot, see this forum post on Ubuntu Forums.
When you have apache up and running, find out your servers IP-address (http://whatismyipaddress.com/ is pretty handy for this) and then your files will be accessible from: http://you-ip-address-whatever/~your-user-name-please-do-replace-me
You could always use services like http://www.dyndns.com/ so that you don't have to use your IP-address all the time.
Once apache is installed you should find that you can place content in a directory silimar to /usr/www or /usr/share/www and apache will serve it. You may also need to start apache, I don't know the ubuntu command but on fedora 12 it is:
service httpd start

Starting up tomcat-6.0.20 from eclipse-3.5.0 (galileo) leads to the 404 error

Console dogs me. Can anybody help?
The sad story starts like this. My OS is ubuntu-9.04. I installed tomcat-6.0.20 by extracting it from .tar.gz package and put it under the /usr/share/tomcat-6.020 directory.
Then I started tomcat from console, and everything seemed to be fine. localhost answered with the $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ROOT/index.html page.
The next step was to put my tomcat in the eclipse's servers list. So, I went to Preferences > Server > Runtime Environment > Add > Apache Tomcat v6.0 (here I also browsed to my tomcat and changed JVM from JRE to JDK). Finally, I added my server to the Servers list.
So, having everything configured, I started my tomcat from the eclipse, opened a browser and asked for localhost. 404 all over sudden. Despite the fact that the eclipse's console has shown no errors.
Has anybody encountered the same problem?
I fixed the "Could not load server configuration" problem by deleting the current server configuration from the Servers View and adding it again.
Open your Tomcat settings (double click or F3 on your Tomcat instance in 'Servers' view in Eclipse):
Make sure configuration path is valid and configuration is valid
Click on modules tab and make sure your app is deployed.
I'm with Carlisg. I had this error in Eclipse 3.6 with Tomcat 5.5: "Could not load server configuration at /Servers/Tomcat v5.5 server. The configuration maybe corrupt or incomplete." After playing around with every setting for 20 minutes and getting the same error, I just deleted the server, re-added it and it worked in about 90 seconds with no changes.
yes emanemos is right, I tried it today and got it working instantly. Create a new project in eclipse, I created a Dynamic web project. Create a new server, choose your apache version as the server type. Then create your pages and resources in this project space. I created index.html in Webcontent and pointed to http://localhost:8080/trial/ and I can see my index.html. (trial is the name of my project).
In windows vista 32 I fixed like this, In 'serverlocation' selected Use Tomcat installation(takes control of tomcat installation) and for deploy path I added my tomcat webapp dir.'C:\apache-tocat-6.0.26-windows-x86\apache-tomcat-6.0.26\webapps'. With default configuration path /Servers/Tomcat v6.0 Server at localhost-config, it just works fine.
I had the same problem and solved it following these steps:
On the Server View, right click on the server (Tomcat 6.0 Server at Localhost)
in the menu options click "Open", this opens a menu with all the configurations for the server.
On tab "Server Locations" you must select the option "Use Tomcat Installation (takes control of tomcat installation)".
Do not forget to check the Deploy path.
I think there is a problem with eclipse configuration over Tomcat and it must use the tomcat installation configuration.
