Access Apache Site Externally
Good night,
I setup Ubuntu 20.04 server, and installed LAMP stack and Wordpress for a site.
I can access the site internally (from another PC,phone,etc…) at the servers IP on port 80. Externally, jjohns.ddns.net:8821, the site will not load. I am sure my port forwarding is correct as I host a few sites here at my house. I have several which work using IIS on Windows 10.
In this sites /etc/apache2/sites-available/jmcs.conf I have the following:
<VirtualHost *:80>
#ServerName ##This is commented out at the moment, but I have tried using the domain name jjohns.ddns.net for both name/alias
#ServerAlias
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/jmcs
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
<Directory /var/www/jmcs/>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
In the ports.conf
Listen 80
<IfModule ssl_module>
Listen 443
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_gnutls.c>
Listen 443
</IfModule>
UFW I am not too familiar with what may need to be opened, but I have it inactive at the moment. Status while active is:
Status: active
To Action From
-- ------ ----
22/tcp ALLOW Anywhere
Apache ALLOW Anywhere
22/tcp (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6)
Apache (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6)
On my Edge Router, using TCP, I forward from 8821 to port 80. I have tested going from 80 to 80 and it did not work. Also tired UDP, and both TCP/UDP for giggles.
Any assistance is much appreciated.
