Unable to connect to port 80 from VM host - RESOLVED.

Post by pauldoc99 » 2014/08/01 18:31:01

Hi,

I'm out of ideas and need the forums help.

I setup Centos 7 in VMWare fusion. I installed apache and it is listening on port 80. I can connect to locahost just fine.
I am unable to connect to port 80 from the host system (or any other).

I have disabled selinux and iptables. I have verified through netstat that port 80 is listening 0.0.0.0:80.

I can ping and ssh to the guest system from the host system.
I cannot telnet to port 80 from host: unable to connect to remote host.
I am using bridged networking.

I have tried to change the http port to 8080. No luck.

What am I missing?

Thanks

iptables is not the default in CentOS 7. You need to open firewalld.
