Apache question
 

I got it all setup and installed right, and I can seem to view websites from the server, but anyone not on the local network cant connect to it?

i set the hostname and listen stuff to the external ip, but still no luck.

also the firewall is setup right, and even with it down people still cant connect.

also ive tried running it on port 81, still no luck.

its apache2 btw.

:Pengy:

check you firewall settings...... ipchains, iptables.......

This may seem like a stupid question but did you setup DNS for the sites?

http://machine_name:port#

For example:

machine_name=web
port#=81

Then it would be http://web:81

The only thing I can say is that if your firewall is setup properly and your apache server config looks okay, then you have to start thinking about how does the client computer look at the site.

You either have to make an entry in the hosts file of your client computer or add an entry to your DNS server. To see if they are resolving properly just try pinging the web server using the web-site address (ping [website name] If you get a reply them it's resolving properly.

Can you view www using the server's IP number? For example: http://192.168.1.4
