Hi:

I just finished installing fedora core 5. I have the following in my settings:

On the "Firewall Options" tab make sure the check boxes next to "WWW (HTTP)" and "Secure WWW (HTTPS) are ticked.

On the "SELinux" tab "Modify SELinux Policy" and under (expanded) "HTTPD Service" all the checkboxes are ticked except "Disable SELinux protection for httpd daemon" and "Disable SELinux protection for http suexec".

I have also done port forwarding since I use a DSL router, opening the following ports
1.80, 443 – For Apache Web Server and https
2.8080 - I am running Jboss which uses port 8080.
3.21 – For FTP.
But I can only access http://mydomain:2420 which is the router's administration page.

Can anybody shed some light why I cannot access the ports.

Yes, the same thing was happening to me. It turned out that the router sends its admin page to anyone who asked for my webpage on LAN. Probably the same thing is happening to you. See if your web-page is accessible from outside your lan. I like to do this by going to http://www.google.com/translate_t

and typing my non-lan ip address (the one that is shown at www.whatismyip.com) into the 'Translate a web page' box and ask google to translate the page from its original language to some other language. If google does that fine, it means that your webpage is accessible from outside lan.

Well I verified that the router's admin page is visible outside lan but port 21, 80, 443, 8080 is not. Even I just tested with the google translate page it does not work either.
