Hi, I 'm having a really bad time trying to set up a web server, i have Verizon dsl, they block port 80 so i have everything set to go to 8080 which per canyouseeme.org is open so is 81 and 82 and 443 i have listen set to these ports, i can see the site from within the lan from the server and other computers but not from the web port forwarding is on on my router and my modem the router is in dmz mode right now and it still will not work. do you think it’s a problem with apache or my router. thanks for your help oh if i type in the ip :80880 it still doesn't work.

Hi,

If the port is open publicly, then I guess the next logical step is if the router is forwarding requests correctly to Apache.

Assuming Apache is running on port 8080 then you need your router to forward requests to the local pc on your network. You need to configure this for incoming requests from the outside.

If Apache is still on port 80, then you need to get your router to forward requests on 8080 and change the port to 80.

Sorry to be vague, however specifics are hard with so many different routers kicking about.

I suppose one test is to connect the Apache pc directly to the internet and see if it works?
