Hi all,
I have apache running on a unix server and every thing seem to work o.k. from my local network, but when i am at work or home and try to acces my server via is dynamic ip i get an error.
the strange thing is if i access the same ip address on 8080 i can get to my page o.k. I have setup the following config options ...
listen 192.168.0.1:80
listen 8080
bindaddress * (also tried bindaddress hostname:80)
port 80
It seems that i cannot acces my site on port 80 from internal hosts unless i have the 'listen 192.168.0.1:80' in my config and i can never get to my server from the outside world on port 80 but 8080 work.
The only other way i can get this to work is by adding a 'listen xx.xx.xx.xx:80' where the xx.xx.xx.xx is the dynamic ip i get when i connect.
I understood that apache will listen on all addresses and port 80 by default, so where am i going wrong?
I do not have a filewall but i do have entrys in my host.allow to allow my works ip address and local hosts to connect. This all works fine for telnet, ftp, ect. I am quite sure that i am NOT blocking tcp or any protocol on port 80.
Any help appreciated!
