until two days back when suddenly no services running on this server can be accessed from other systems/clients. The "xinetd" is coming

Has anybody setup firewall, IPTables, IPChains??? Check the shell history...

I used to live in a house by the freeway. When I went anywhere, I had to be going 65 MPH by the end of my driveway. I replaced the headlights in my car with strobe lights. Now it looks like I'm the only one moving. I was pulled over for speeding today. The officer said, "Don't you know the speed limit is 55 miles an hour?" And I said, "Yes, but I wasn't going to be out that long." I put a new engine in my car, but didn't take the old one out. Now my car goes 500 miles an hour. -- Steven Wright

We have a server with RedHat 7.3. The networking was working fine until two days back when suddenly no services running on this server can be accessed from other systems/clients. The "xinetd" is coming up properly on booting. Also though no service like telnet/ftp/httpd works, other systems are able to ping the server on IP address. We hav tried the xinetd with debug enabled but no clues there also !!

Was the server rebooted any time recently? Are ipchains enabled by default at boot time?

Secondly Apache server on this system has been made functional changing the DocumentRoot to another directory. But it still resolves to /var/www. Is there any other file to be updated.???

Editing httpd.conf is usually straightforward thanks to all the comments present in the file itself. What do your error logs say?
