I have installed apache on my server however I can not browse my website through my server’s IP. the setup of the apache is a single account server under /var/www/htdocs/.

Is there anything else I need to do to be able to see the account via my server’s IP?

    There are several possibilities.

    • firewall, iptables configuration
    • apache listen address / port

    More information is needed about your configuration. What distro are you using? Can you connect via 127.0.0.1?

    If the issue is with the firewall/iptables, you can add the following lines to /etc/sysconfig/iptables:

    -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT

    (Second line is only needed for https)

    Make sure this is above any lines that would globally restrict access, like the following:

    -A INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited

    Tested on CentOS 6.3

    And finally 

    service iptables restart
