Web server problem..?

Hi Ben,

Why are you trying to go to TCP port 1215? Have you set up NAT and mapped
this port back to the server's port 80?

Thanks,

Can you tell me what is NAT?
I have mapped the port in the router as follow...

Private IP Private Port Type Public Port
192.168.2.26 80 TCP 1215

is this what you mean?
 
Hi Ben...

I think Marc was just trying to clarify if you've mapped post 1215 only
because you mentioned that port. The default port, as you also mentioned
for web servers using the HTTP protocol is port 80.

Whatever port your web server is running on, has to work on the local subnet
or it will not work when you set your router to point incoming traffic to
it.

Ok, I just saw you had a .jpg of your NAT config.

I now understand you want your web server available to the Internet as
http://24.157.2.173:1215 to point to http://192.168.2.26:80.
Your router configuration looks correct and it works as intended. I saw the
default Apache page. You may not be able to see it from behind the NAT
router. I cannot see my site publicly from behind mine either. What I get
is my router config. I get to mine from within using the internal address
or name. If you want to see what the public sees, you can use SamSpade to
browse to it. It's safe browsing so you will only see source code and
scripts will not run, nor will cookies. There are probably other sites out
there that allow you to see your information as others see it.

To browse to it with SamSpade, you can use:

oh hay, I see now.. so my site does actually works, but I just couldn't see it in my computer..
and I am able to see my files through it.. but is it possible to have it so I could see it when I type http://localhost:80

Also, I went to my friends house to try my stie, and it didn't work that makes me wonder what I did wrong... any suggestion here?

do you know which folder I should goto if I wanna have my page edited? I mean where should my "index.html" goes? thx.. ^_^
 
If you are browsing from your web server, then you should be able to browse
to http://localhost/ Port 80 is the default port if a port is not
specified, however, yes, http://localhost:80 will also work. It's just not
needed. It will not work from the local subnet if you're on another
computer. Localhost refers to the system you're on, in lieu of typing in
127.0.0.1.

I don't work with Apache but perhaps this will provide you with the
information you need.
