Thanks for your time and your help.
I moved the "-A INPUT..... ACCEPT" statements for port 80 to the top of the iptables and the page displays OK.
I guess I will have to read up more on IPTABLES.

Yes it's a common thing that can cause annoyance.
-A INPUT will append to the end of the chain (which can allow it to go under a REJECT and become useless)
-I INPUT will insert it top the top of the chain
Code: Select all
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --destination-port 80 -j ACCEPT

Glad I could help. iptables sets the firewall rules, which are read until a match is made. So if you want to ALLOW something for some sites, but DROP it for others, it's usually best to put the allow lines first, then drop everything else.
