When you successfully telnet to port 80, what prompts or messages do you get? Are you sure this telnet goes to your server or is answered by some other server?
Same question when you run telnet localhost 80 on the server in question.

On my system, this is what happens when I run telnet on the server:

Code:

# telnet 192.168.1.5 80

Trying 192.168.1.5...

Connected to 192.168.1.5.

Escape character is '^]'.

blabla

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">

<h1>Method Not Implemented</h1>

<p>blabla to / not supported.<br />

</p>

<hr>

<address>Apache/2.2.15 (CentOS) Server at athlon64/192.168.1.5 Port 80</address>

</body></html>

Connection closed by foreign host.

The "blabla" string is my input, the lines after it come from httpd. You can customise the identification line (<address>) using ServerName in the config file.

This telnet session generated an entry [error] [client 192.168.1.5] Invalid method in request blabla in the error log /etc/httpd/logs/error_log.

here is the only answer i get from telnet sir

telnet 192.168.1.213 80
Trying 192.168.1.213...
Connected to 192.168.1.213.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.

i didnt get the blabla response like you have

But that is telnet to your private ip!
We need to see what happens when you connect from outside!
So please, give valid information:
1) dig <your.hostname>
2) Whois <your.hostname>
3) telnet <public ip> 80
Watch the log for apache while connecting to your webserver:
# tail -f /var/log/httpd/error.log (I think it's correct path, could be /var/log/apache2/error.log)

Ah, I think I know!
You see, it's working for me, I get Apache 2 Test Page when I connect to www.mrmstudios.tk
My guess is, are you trying from a computer in the same LAN as the webserver? If so the firewall needs to be configured to allow traffic that goes out & in on same interface.
On pfSense for instance, this is handled by a special rule "Enable automatic outbound NAT for Reflection".
Normally this is not allowed as it puts unnecessary load on the firewall.

i think i got it too. i just use host as my DNS /etc/hosts on my firewall and direct traffic from there.

im not so sure though if its now working properly

can u access it already sir pingu? have you seen the apache testpage for centos? i think its working. i just need to forward other ports to my server. hehehe

Yes it's working from outside, I get the Apache testpage for Centos.

same here, I can access the page. You seem to have trouble getting out of your network, not in.

i think i finally got it working. what i need is the internal DNS to direct traffic from the inside? is that right?

You need to:

have a way of translating the name www.mrmstudios.tk to the correct IP address. Usually this requires DNS, internal or external. This seems to be OK, otherwise your dig command wouldn't work.
be able to contact the IP address of your server 123.136.73.42 at port 80. Telnet is one way of trying this out, or simply enter the IP address in the browser.

So you have it working? No errors or timeouts? From here, the site is still accessible. Via telnet:

Code:

$ telnet 123.136.73.42 80

Trying 123.136.73.42...

Connected to 123.136.73.42.

Escape character is '^]'.

this is my input to test the web server

Yeah that's the firewall outbound connection fail error in the logs.
So its nice to hear you made it work finally, now you should got why i was asking for the logs and why they are this important to share.

Enjoy..
