I can't connect to localhost from other computers
I can see the web pages I created in /var/www/html/
by typing localhost
in URL bar.
A few months ago I could even access those pages by typing my ip address from other computers, but now I am getting server timed out when I type my ip address from my mobile phone; my friends are also not able to connect by typing my ip address.
Recently I installed webmin from a tutorial in unixmen,
I thought maybe it changed read and execute permissions. so I executed the command chmod -R 775
,
but it didn't change anything (still not able to connect from other computers).
Everything is working fine from host computer.
The output of ifconfig
is:

Solution 1:
Thank you everyone, I think it was the firewall, by disabling the firewall as given in the site https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/firewall.html with the command:
sudo ufw disable
I could open the index page from mobile.
