I put in the path to where the executable file that's also the web server is.  That's the docroot, since it's also where the static assets are.  As for a URL where it works, it's only my internal IP so far.  

In my router's settings, under NAT > Virtual Servers, I have these two rules for the port forwarding:

Server Name	External Port Start	External Port End	Protocol	Internal Port Start	Internal Port End	Server IP Address	WAN Interface	LAN Loopback	Enable/Disable	Remove
Secure Web Server (HTTPS)	8443	8443	TCP	8443	8443	192.168.10.9	ppp2.1	Disabled
HTTP	8080	8080	TCP	8080	8080	192.168.10.9	ppp2.1	Disabled

192.168.10.9 is my internal IP address.  I'll try again after setting my server app first and then Apache, but for now, does this look okay to you?
