[nzlug] Apache not seen from Internet

[Stefan Schulz (Professional Web Solutions)]

Hi everyone,

I guess I am simply overlooking the obvious?!?
I would like to open my server Kubuntu Feisty, Apache2 (192.168.0.200)
for testing to the Internet.
On my firewall/router with a static IP address I opened port 8080 to be
forwarded to 192.168.0.200 port 80.
I verified this with pcflank.com 's port scanner. It shows my port 8080
on the firewall as open.
Internally I can see the servers default website from different
computers using 192.168.0.200 or 192.168.0.200:80 - so that is fine too.
Here is apache's setting (for this site):
<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin webmaster at localhost
        DocumentRoot /somedir/
        <Directory />
                Options FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride None
        </Directory>
        <Directory /somedir/ >
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride None
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
        </Directory>
</VirtualHost>


But I can not get through from the Internet using
http://<staticip>:8080/ all I get is connection timeout.
Any ideas? Whats the best way of testing this?
