On my browser when I type in localhost, it works, I see my apache folder. When I try and type my IP: 67.186.125.204 it doesnt work. It used to work, stopped working yesterday. No idea why. Someone please come up with a solution.
 
My IP changed to 67.162.28.168 and it still does not work. What has gone wrong here?
 
What I mean is that before I use to go to my IP address and it used to show the apache main folder which everyone can see the actual website. Now for some reason, it doesn't, it just loads and goes page cannot be displayed.

Hi

Interesting. I am not sure that is Apache problem. The IP address is pingable, but portscan fails and of course no connection can be established to port 80. Is there a firewall ?

Feherke.
 
Hello,
I am expiriencing the same issue and it does appear to be an Apache problem, for me at least. I'm thinking httpd.conf. As Zainhabib stated I am unable to load my webpage from anywhere outside my network. That stated, when I run a tcpdump on the server while trying to connect from the outside I see the packets from the request. If I change the NAT settings on my firewall to translate the source address from the external address to the internal interface of the firewall (now apache thinks the request is coming from the inside) im am able to load the page from an external address. Any suggestions are greatly appriciated.
 
Hm, ic. I'll check things up on my router once again .. Everything is enabled, ports 21/80. I'll look around.
