Cannot establish a connection to server

Description

I have just installed a fresh Debian 7.5 OS (client) within a VM alongside my Debian 7.5 with FOG server (host). The client can ping the host but cannot access the page to download the client installer (<FOGSERVER>/fog/client) via Iceweasel. I receive the error that Iceweasel cannot establish a connection to the server. Do you know why this might be?

I think we need more information. Assuming you’re using the fog servers GUI to try to access the fog server itself, it seems likely that trying 127.0.0.1 may be better? Can you provide the Apache error logs as well?

[ABane]

@Tom-Elliott, trying with 127.0.0.1/fog/client gives the same error (from clients Iceweasel). I can the server but that is all. Where are the logs stored?

@ABane logs :

cat /var/log/apache2/error.log

If you have a lot of log :

tail -n 100 /var/log/apache2/error.log

@ch3i thank you.

There is nothing in the log pertaining to the situation. Only a favixon not existing

@ABane Please post a picture of the error on the client…

@Sebastian-Roth I was discussing over Chat and apparently things started working after the “3rd” reboot?

I didn’t do anything, and the OP swears the same.

Well then… those things happen. Marking it solved. Feel free to ask more questions if it starts happening again.
