Topic: external web requests

[Anonymous]

Hi, i have the httpd setup and can access the sites from the intranet but i'm unable to access it from outside. I thought it might be a firewall issue but from what i can tell i'm not running ipchains or iptables. I get an error saying

The system returned:

    (111) Connection refused

if anyone could point me to what i might need to configure it would be really appreciated!

the httpd is on the gateway machine with a static external IP  203.34.16.227

Thanks

Do you use port 80? Your ISP might block port 80
Then you'll have to forward your to a port 8080 or higher.

i think it may have something to do with the firewall, which i think is iptables? where can i get info on this? my hosts.deny file says deny all. could this be the problem?  although the iptables list said 80 was onpen to everyone

Does your ISP allow you to run a server on port 80?
There are lots of them who block port 80. Then you'll have to run your on a port eg 10000 and forward http://www.mydomain.com to http://myip:10000.
Although it also could be a prob with your firewall.
Have you opened port 80 for web traffic?
Probably you can find more info about iptables if you open a console and type "man iptables" without the quotes.

I get exactly the same thing...

Not sure how to fix it.  Tried changing i-bays for html and allowing public access. didn't fix it.

Tell me guest.  what dyndns service where you using?

i am using zoneedit.  and i get that...


also, its not port blocking in my case.  i have allowed port 80 from my isp control panel.
