Need help with Apache2 in Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS

[amgenhammer]

Hello everyone. I seem to be having a problem with Apache2 in Ubuntu Server 10.04lts. To start with, here is some basic info. I have a barebones install of ubuntu server configured with Open SSH (which I do my work from), Apache2 and Proftpd. I have a DYNAMIC IP ADDRESS (this isn't going to change so please take this as a condition that the problem must be solved with) and I'm using DYNDNS to keep track of the IP. I can connect to the dyndns address (lumberjackcomputers.dyndns.org), the global ip address, and the local ip address from inside of my network. I have a local static ip for the server of 192.168.1.100 with DMZ enabled for the address on the router. However, when trying to connect via proxy to see if I can connect outside of my network, it fails. I'm a bit inexperienced with Apache2, so any help here would be great. I really need to be able to SSH in and also connect to the page from outside of my network, as I'm on the go quite a bit. Thanks!

Go to Shields Up and make sure port 80 is not blocked by your ISP. If it is use the workaround offered by dyndns.

so basically I'm stuck with either port 21 or 22? This doesn't make any since, as I use other ports on my windows machine all the time!

i used the laptop that I run ssh off of for the test. Is that okay? Also, I really don't know which option I was supposed to choose, lol

[Segfault]

You should understand Shields-Up shows you ports that are closed or stealth for incoming connections. Has nothing to do with connections which are initiated from inside.
Ports that are stealth are blocked by your ISP or your firewall.
Ports that are closed are not blocked but no service is listening.
Ports that are open can be connected to, 21 and 22 indicate your FTP and SSH servers are listening.

Okay thanks for the info. My question still remains (im a noob, lol). How do i configure the server so I can accept incoming connections?

Ports that are stealth are blocked by your ISP or your firewall.

Technically they are ports that have had no response at all made on them. It's a very minor distinction
