I've installed apache which is successfull i think. If i put in to the browser
http://192.168.0.2:8000 it brings up what i expect, a folder with subfolders.
If i put in
http://evilbot.homelinux.com it brings up my netgear router's login page which is what i expect.
I've tried to set up the router to forward all services to port 8000 to 192.168.0.2 to presumably bring up the serving folder as above but all it says is
Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at evilbot.homelinux.com:8000.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
The dns server is working because it sends requests to my routers page yes? I've set the apache to listen on port 8000 because i understand low ports need root access.
Any ideas? My router is a net gear dg834gt.
Please go slow.. i'm a newbie!
