When I check var/log/httpd/error_log it shows: The odd part is, when I check it's empty. The results are all the same, as mentioned connection errors in the browser. I've asked the customer to connect to the website with all kinds of browsers. The Chrome error is 'Oops! Google Chrome cannot connect to. htaccess for this site (and it's a straight forward Joomla 2.5 site). This problem comes and goes it seems and we haven't ever changed php scripts or.

htaccess and php scripts can be ruled out. Is it possible IPFW or DirectAdmin somehow is blocking access to port 80 to some ip address or ip address range, if yes, where to look ?ДЄnd, yes indeed, no other customer experiences such problem 'it's just him'. If he disconnects from his router, and connects directly to his modem his ISP serves him a different ip-address in another range (still belonging to this ISP) and he can serve all sites A-ok no problems.Д«efore going technical about router misconfigurations and ISP's blocking something I just want to know: He can reach without problem the ISP the ip-address of the VPS server belongs to. Yet he cannot reach any of the sites hosted on this server. He can also mail any particular mail address hosted on this server. Further more, he can easily reach his DA Controlpanel when connecting to DirectAdmin on port 2222. I've setup IPFW / Brute Force Monitor but his ip is not listed (in the DirectAdmin controlpanel BFM). I have a customer that simply cannot connect to his website hosted on FreeBSD 9.x / DirectAdmin (on port 80, surfing with any browser). This is something strange that bugs me for a while now.

Port is open but cannot connect
