Q: I use Gentoo Linux and Apache have been installed, I have a smc 7004ABR router.
When me a web browser and type in 127.0.0.1 to open I get the default Apache web page. So all good far.
I on port 80 open on my router and I can not go to the webpage I type in my external IP address. Im 99% sure I opened the gate correctly (ssh port22 is opened with the same settings) 0.
So I was wondering if my ISP (Road Runner Tampa Bay shutdown port 80 traffic) 977 503: |
any ideas?
Re:well…. I use gentoo linux which automagically compiles the program and dependecies from source.
there is an apache version for windows, It's mainly just a matter of installing it correctly.
I've never done it on windows though.
here is some info on apache on windows

Re:I checked it too. It works. How can I set up the same thing on a Win98 machine with a dialup connection. I just want it to work, thats it. Once I get this to work, I will move up to a fatter pipe.

guy, I tried your web server at 2:09PM ET, and it worked.
You're running Apache 1.3.24 on Linux.

some in dsl reports ay they block port 80, some say they don't
Re:How is your networking set up? Is your router taking the external Roadrunner IP address and giving your web server machine a private IP address using NAT? If you're doing this, you need to setup the router to forward port 80 to the private IP of your web server machine.
yes that's what i'm doing
damnit anonymizer says it wants money to do it:|
anyone care to check it…

Re:guy, it's certainly possible that RoadRunner is blocking all inbound requests on 80. Some cable ISPs do that because running a web server is against their Acceptable Use Policy. You might want to ask if RoadRunner is doing that in the RoadRunner forum at DSL Reports (http://www.dslreports.com).

Re:I dunno about yours in particular, but a lot of routers don't support internal loopback (going out of your router, then to a server back inside again). You can test external access to your site by going to anonymizer (http://www.anonymizer.com) and typing in the external IP. If doing so works, you know that's the problem. Then if you want to be able to type in the external IP and get access, you can just add an entry to your HOSTS file so it'll resolve the external (or your domain name if you're gonna use one) to your internal IP.
