mmm...ya, I have never ever thought about the point about router! I have like 2 routers connected before the line goes to my laptop! So may I know for the forwarding, is it necessary to forward from port 443 to port 443 or I can forward to any other port? By the way, what is port 443 for? Thanks a lot!

You may not need to turn off the firewall, but any and all firewalls will need to allow port 443 in and outbound. And if you're behind a NAT gateway, the gateway will need to forward port 443 from the public IP address to the private IP address the computer running apache is on. You SHOULD, regardless, on the machine running apache, be able to browse to http://localhost:443 regardless of the firewall. - Note SHOULD, some firewalls are so strict you can't. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
