Sure, however, without much details from you, I’m not sure where you are seeing an issue.

I would suggest going over the steps above to see if anything didn’t work along the way in your case.

Thanks,

Try these as well before you stop the firewall (I dont’ want to suggest that yet as it might be unsafe for you) I was not aware you were running this from putty:

On the host from putty, try:
$ lwp-request http://localhost:80/server-status # You should not get 404 Page not found.

and tell me what you get. If you get a 404 Page not found as it appears could be the case, please review the httpd.conf configuration in the post to ensure you have everything configured correctly.

If the above lwp-request doesn’t return anything ensure httpd is running properly:

$ service httpd restart # Make sure no errors are seen.
$ netstat -apneet|grep http # (Make sure something is returned with LISTEN and httpd appears in it)
$ lwp-request http://localhost:80/server-status

Tell me what you get from this command.
$ cat $(locate httpd.conf|grep httpd.conf$|grep etc)|grep -A 7 “server-status”

OR (if above doesn’t work)

$ cat /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf|grep -A 7 “server-status”

If you feel it’s safe to stop your firewall temporarily this is the way to do this (If it’s iptables):

Stop the firewall
$ service iptables stop

Try these again:
$ netstat -apneet|grep http
$ lwp-request http://localhost:80/server-status

Start the firewall
$ service iptables start

Good Luck!

What is your distribution?
- What is it?

Is the above message printed in one of the HTTP log files in /var/log/httpd/ or when you restart httpd?
No error

What do you get when you type service httpd fullstatus?
ELinks: Connection refused
****
When I type httpd fullstatus, then showed
Usage: httpd [-D name] [-d directory] [-f file]
[-C "directive"] [-c "directive"]
[-k start|restart|graceful|graceful-stop|stop]
[-v] [-V] [-h] [-l] [-L] [-t] [-S]
Options:
-D name : define a name for use in directives
-d directory : specify an alternate initial ServerRoot
-f file : specify an alternate ServerConfigFile
-C “directive” : process directive before reading config files
-c “directive” : process directive after reading config files
-e level : show startup errors of level (see LogLevel)
-E file : log startup errors to file
-v : show version number
-V : show compile settings
-h : list available command line options (this page)
-l : list compiled in modules
-L : list available configuration directives
-t -D DUMP_VHOSTS : show parsed settings (currently only vhost settings)
-S : a synonym for -t -D DUMP_VHOSTS
-t -D DUMP_MODULES : show all loaded modules
-M : a synonym for -t -D DUMP_MODULES
-t : run syntax check for config files

Are you configuring this through the root account?
Yes

Is there a firewall on your system?
Yes, and ssh opend - allowed

Where are you running the commands from?
Putty

You could also try the following and mention here what you get:

# rpm -qf $(which links)
elinks-0.12-0.13.pre3.fc11.i586
# links –dump google.com
Unabled to retrive file:///root/.dump
No such file or directory
AND
# links –dump http://localhost:80/server-status
Unabled to retrive file:///root/.dump
No such file or directory
#
Then load the URL http://localhost:80/server-status into your browser and mention what you get.
No page finded

But I read that someone say it was of the iptables, where is it?

No worries about the English.

When I see that error I think of lot’s of things that could go wrong:

First and foremost, consider upgrading to the latest version of your http and elinks software. Then, if you still get the error or you couldn’t upgrade:

What version of elinks and httpd are you running?
What is your distribution?
Is the above message printed in one of the HTTP log files in /var/log/httpd/ or when you restart httpd?
What do you get when you type service httpd fullstatus?
Are you configuring this through the root account?
Is there a firewall on your system?
Where are you running the commands from?

You could also try the following and mention here what you get:

# rpm -qf $(which links)
elinks-0.12-0.13.pre3.fc11.i586
# links –dump google.com
.
.
.
#

OR

# links –dump [URL that caused you to get Elinks: connection refused]
.
.
.
#

AND

# links –dump http://localhost:80/server-status
#

Then load the URL http://localhost:80/server-status into your browser and mention what you get.
