    If you are using a CMS like drupal or joomla or wordpress, they have an option called maintenance mode. Check if that is active or set true. This problem is not of server, but the configuration. Alternatively you can also check .htaccess file to see if there is a redirection enabled.

    No I am not using any cms , i am just trying to configure apache on my server, but don't know why it is not working

    Did you ever installed then apache on server manually?

    it is exactly like you install xampp on windows and it shows you "It works" message on browser, when you type localhost on address bar

    Yes I have! Could there be any other process running on port 80? Have you checked the port address in Apache? It looks a typical problem!

    Let me clear , how did i install it

    I had run following commands after login through putty

    yum install httpd

    yum instal httpd-devel

    then run cmd :- /etc/init.d/httpd start

    and its shows httpds - start

    Did i missed something?

    Have you installed in sudo mode?

    I mean by default you are logged in as super user?

    BTW, if apache is listening to port 80, that means the process is running.

    which page it is opening in browser? like index.php/index.htm? Why not make a simple html and copy it in apache's public-html and invoke that?

    if it opens than should be fine!

    Yeah i have created that file too, but no use, i am just not able to figure out what i am missing here
    Can you tell me what steps will you follow to install apache on server?

    All you have is fresh server, with just server access and one external IP + internal IP

    Ok guys

    Issue fixed, the problem was very common,

    I had to add exception in linux server to enable it to listen on port 80 😀
