apache2 server refuses connection
I am having trouble getting my apache2 server on my new dedicated server working. I tried to look at common trouble-causing problems like firewall, listening interfaces, apachectl -t and apachectl -S. But everything seems to be OK.
If I try to access the domain from the web browser on a different machine, it says "connection refused". Accessing it in the web browser via IP address works. Only the domain refuses it.
The access_log and error_log are also empty. So, no error really thrown. What may I have missed out? Any help or suggestions would be great. I am using openSUSE 42.2 minimal.

Is the web browser on a different machine, or on the one running Apache2? On both systems what IP address does your domain name resolve to; importantly, do they both resolve it to the same thing, and is that thing your expected (public) IP address? What happens if you try to access your web server by that IP address, e.g.http://172.26.27.28/? Please add the results to your question.

@roaima I edited my question. But what do you mean accessing it local on the web browser? This is a dedicated server, so I have no gui installed on it, just ssh access.

Does your domain's DNS resolve properly to the IP address? E.g. does exampledomain.tld -> your.ip.address.? Check withdig A yourdomain.tld

Well, I changed about five hours before I asked here the DNS entry to a new IP address. But I ping it and it has been resolved to the new IP address. Also git pushing with domain name worked just fine

If access by IP address works but domain name doesn't it's a DNS issue on the client. If the error message from your web browser isn't really "connection refused" please tell us exactly what it is, because that might have further being on the subject (vHosts spring to mind).

Use the following command to check whether Apache is listening to the port:
netstat -lntp | grep ':(the port you are expecting, e.g., :80)'If nothing is listening to the port, then start apache.
