Cant see webserver.

[silentgiant]

Hi,

I installed Debian with the intention of having a small personal website. It all went well and apache2 is up and running. I believe I have configured everything correctly to have virtual host for the domain. I am using a dynamic DNS service to point my domain to my ISP assigned IP address.

I have a linksys router with port forwarding for port 80 for the webserver.

I can see the webserver locally as localhost, and with the FQDN. However when I am at work or at school I am unable to view the website. I can SSH into the machine though so I am sure that the router is passing the traffic to the server.

Any suggestions on what might still be going on?

thanks!

Check your permissions on the folders and files in your web directory, mine is /var/www, but it may also be /home/user/public_html/

if they are not set to anyone read, then just chmod -R the directory

got it, try by enabling DMZ through webpage of your route, (ex. http://192.168.1.1) to your local ip (such 192.168.1.3), and enabling port 80.

it should work.
