using apache in redhat 9, works through lan but...
 

Im running redhat 9, w/ jakarta-tomcat.
How do i get it to work through the net?
I got it working through localhost
but if i do:
myiphere:8080
it doesnt work..
whats the prob?
BTw- i configure my linux firewall to allow http
and i set up port forwarding on my router

make sure you have port 80 forwarded to the right machine, and make sure that you are using your WAN ip address.

(ie http://66.30.230.232) not http://192.168.1.104

whats my wan ip adress?
i dont think i use WAN
on my router CP, it says "connect automatically, as required"
and as for using the right machine..
is there some sort of ipconfig /all in redhat lol?

Some routers are bad at forwarding from one port to another.

Incoming on port 8080 should forward to 8080 -- or at least try doing that (you'll need to change httpd.conf).

Apache listens on 80 by default, so I assume you have portforwarding setup to go from incoming 8080 to 80 on your lan.

Try changing it to the same port :)

cool, it works. Thanks alot..
how do i set up ftp now lol?
I installed vsftpd
i configured my user name to be in the group ftp
i edited my conf file to not allow anonymous access
i configured router to forward ports 20 and 21 to my server
anythin else i forgot?

i tried to ftp via another comp, but it set login incorrect.
is my ftp pass different from my login pass (redhat) ?

is the group supposed to be ftp?
or am i suppose to make a new one?
