Apache and NAT Routing


I want to create an apache web server from my home pc but it is behind my router. Whenever you type the external IP address you get the setup page for my router. How can I make it divert to the apache server - hosted on 192.168.1.2.

tell your router to forward port 80 (HTTP) to your apache server.. if your using IPTABLES... head over to http://iptables-script.dk/index1.php and it will generate the script for ya.

go to your router setup page... and tell it to forward port 80 to your server IP address.. shouldn't be a problem.

yea, you'll want to disable that router setup page if remote users are seeing it too. dont want anybody trying to log into your router just because they can.

I have tried to do it by using somthing called "Virtual Server" to little avail. I was wondering if anyone else had solved the problem for their router.

It turns out I had done it all along, I had configured the port forwarding correctly however from my computer I could only get at the router config page. Im asked a friend to test it and they got it to work fine. Thanks for all the advice though non the less.
