    Angry apache server setup working locally but not from outside connections

    Hi all

    Many thanks in advance.

    I'm running on Ubuntu and I've succesfully setup apache alongside with a working php & mysql configuration - other computers connected to the LAN can access it by typing in my ip: 192.168.0.9

    however I would like my webserver to be accessible by all internet users...I've got my ports.conf file in the apache setup to listen on ports 80 and 8080 this is my ports.conf:
    PHP Code:
    Listen 80
    Listen 8080
    Listen 2000
    <IfModule mod_ssl.c>
        
    Listen 443
    </IfModule
    I went onto my lan setup at 192.168.0.1 and successfully logged in and i tried portforwarding on ports 80 and 8080 to 192.168.0.9

    It seems I've done everything correctly in terms of portforwarding, but when I go to my lans ip(87.113.21.30) it just comes up with the setup page that can be accessed at 192.168.0.1

    I also tried 87.113.21.30:8080 but still no luck?

    Any help/suggestions?

    Thank you

    I'm assuming this is your home connection. Does your ISP allow you to serve a website? For example, my ISP, Suddenlink Cable, does not.
    I equivocate, therefore I might be.

    Home: Slackware 10, CentOS 5.3, RHEL 5, Ubuntu Workstation 9.10, Work: RHEL 5, CentOS 5

    Unhappy ...

    I think so its a netgear router and the isp is plusnet, I assume it is allowing me to set it up.

    Any more ideas?

    Thanks for all your help so far

    p.s. is there an easy way of finding out if my isp does support file serving?

    Here's what I would do:

    1. Go to http://www.whatismyip.com.

    2. Note your public IP.

    3. From an external computer (like work, school, etc.) open a terminal, and type telnet your public IP address 80

    4. If it responds at all and doesn't time out, you know Port 80 is open.

    Another option is an online port scanner that you can use to test Port 80 on your public IP. Here is one:

    Talking working!

    Hi all! Thanks for your help again I went onto my ISP's support website and found out that I could actually change my broadbands firewall. I set it to allow port 80 connections - and voila! It's working! Only from outside connections - I can't connect myself...since I'm so happy you can all see it at:

    87.114.152.99


    If you can be bothered


    Thanks,
