When I attempt to post a story with a hyperlink to another site, I'm redirected to a test page that basically says 'I've sucessfully installed Apache2'.
This only occurs when posting data with hyperlinks to other sites, it does not happen if I post data with an internal (site) link. This happens with or without using Tinymce.
This doesn't seem to happen every single time, but lately it's gotten so bad that my users can't post stories properly.
I asked my web host for help thinking it's an issue on their end with apache configuration, but they 'refuse to solve issues with 3rd party installed software' so I'm stuck.
Thanks for any insight.

yes
yes, it is the full http address. I can enter it either using tinymce, or using html tags, and as soon as the 'submit' button is pressed I'm immediately sent to the Apache 2 test page (powered by CentOS). There's some verbage on that page to indicate it's a page that is normall displayed after a sucessful install of apache2. I can take screen shots if anyone wants to see it.
Strangely, it only happens when an external link is entered.
The address in the address bar when I'm redirected to this test page still says ?q=node/xxxxx/edit,
and the time delay from submission to this strage apache test page is almost instantaneous. No delay at all.
the site is www.nucpros.com, if you're interested.
Thanks for your help.

fyi
The problem was with the server setup. modsecurity was interpreting external link postings as spam or hacking and causing an error. modsecurity overriden and things work fine.
