RE: Fwd: Home Web Server (Apache Users)

Hello

It’s still not working:

“The server at 24.78.136.243 is taking too long to respond.”

If it works from your internal network (ie http://192.168.0.100:8080) then it’s a port-forwarding or firewall issue. Perhaps check the local webserver’s firewall logs or temporarily disable it?

Good luck!

Current router configuration

TCP 8080/8080

Always

Private port and public port are all 8080. Before it is 80/80 for port 80

Thanks,

Doesn't work : connection refused.

I believe now is time for a pause to think.

When we connect from outside to the address 24.78.136.243, we in fact connect to your *router*.
Your router is not your webserver.
Your router should know, that when it receives a connection to its port 80 (or 8080), it should forward this connection to your Apache server, at the IP address 192.168.0.100.
Is there something in your router configuration that tells it to do that ?
