OK so I have been messing around on my development server.
It has been a while since I have had my head in linux and I suspect I have broken something.
I have SSH running and that is working fine.
I also have HTTP and I had FTP running also.
Earlier today I decided I wanted to rename the machine so I updated the /etc/hosts file and /etc/sysconfig/network. I also changed the server name in the httpd.conf.
I rebooted the machine and reconnected to SSH fine.
Later I was messing around with the FTP service (trying to tighten up the user security) and when i tried to connect remotely to FTP no joy, it said cannot connect. I thought that was weird but had planned to remove ftp as we will be using github so removed ftp and moved on.
Then I tried to connect to the website but major fail. even connecting to the IP address is failing. I used lynx to connect to the localhost and there was my site so something going on at server level. I thought maybe something up with iptables but I have not changed them but tried adding http but still no joy.
I have a -

This is my iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED
ACCEPT icmp -- anywhere anywhere
ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)

Like I say I can use SSH no issue but http although running is a no go from a remote computer.
Any ideas?
