My server came with apache and centos 5 installed but need help.
Hi sorry for the stupid question but I am totally green to this I know nothing about anything except php etc. i just bought my first webserver and have set it up turned it on and am already getting confused. My server came with centos 5 installed says that apache is intalled. I am using set up an account at dyndns.com so I have my DNS server right now if i go to my nameserver it finds my router but is then asking me for the router password there is no security set up on the router but it has open access but it keeps asking me for the router username and password i tried the routers admin username and password and it logs me into my router admin. I guess something is wrong here correct?
In centos 5 the only thing I have changed so far is in sytem administration server settings http i changed server to my name server name was this the correct thing to do?
I am not sure if php is installed or sql I have absolutely no idea what to do next some advice would be most helpful thanks in advance.

If you are browsing to your Dynamic DNS name and ending up at the web admin interface for your router you have a couple issues..
1. Web administration to your router is open facing the Internet.. you should really only allow admin access to your router locally.
2. You need to forward Port 80 from your router to the Web server. Check your routers user manual for directions on how to forward a single port to a single internal IP address.

127.0.0.1 is default for "localhost" or this computer here what I am looking at.
Try this. Open a terminal as root and run the command ifconfig.
It should return something that looks like this. "eth0" is the wired connection which I'm not using right now. "eth1" is the wireless. "lo" is local. The wireless is the active connection, so it shows an valid ip address.
Code:

mm now i've got my router working its not locking me out anymore problem is i have set up virtual server as websever http and dynamic dns settings from dyndns.com and just keeps logging into my router admin so port 80 isn't blocked but on the virtual server set up i pointed it all to port 80 and to the ip address of eth0 which is the computer my server is on.
Pulling my hair out been reading lots online but getting nowhere i think when i set up port 80 as my http server it said it was changing the router port to 8080 but when i enter my dns name server in the browesr i just keep gettin my router admin its probably something really simple but have no idea what?

As I said I am new to tis and have no idea what i am doing. I just learned that when trying to access my server from outside it will always direct me to the admin page of my router. If I try to access my server from outside I get An error has occured while trying to get the page 403 you are not authorized to view this page (Forbidden)?

Hi I have just tried another setting and just configured my router as it recommends as below not sure if i have the server ip address right?
Code:
Server Name External Port Start External Port End Protocol Internal Port Start Internal Port End Server IP Address
Name1 80 80 TCP/UDP 80 80 127.0.0.1
Name2 443 443 TCP/UDP 443 443 127.0.0.1
I am still getting 502 Bad Gateway Response was received by another proxy server or the destination origin server??
also when i run the command httpd i am getting
Code:
(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80
(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down

looks like your server address is 192.168.1.53 and that is what your Port forwarding should point to, not 127.0.0.1
127.0.0.1 is a loopback address, nothing but the local machine can connect to that address..
