Help needed - cannot access Apache from outside my box
I cannot access Apache from outside my box. I have been unable to find a
solution in the FAQ or mailing-list archives. I am tech saavy, but do not
know how to diagnose this sort of problem; please help me make my webserver
visible to the world.
* I am running Apache 2.0.35 on Win2KPro
* This is a single box connected to the internet via Verizon DSL with a
Westel Wirespeed modem (no router, hub, anything between the box and the
wall)
* I spoke to someone at Verizon and they informed me that they do not block
incoming requests and that the hardware does not either
* I turned off my firewall to remove that from the troubleshooting loop
* I am able to load pages locally using http://<myIPaddress> (obtained with
ipconfig)
* My machine can be pinged and returns all packets in a reasonable time
* I can trace route to my box using www.visualroute.com
* I have tried changing the Listen directive to 8080, 8000, and 7117 (a
random number in case the usual suspects were being blocked)
* HostnameLookups directive is Off
* Requests to Apache from outside do not appear in the access.log
* There are no errors in error.log
* My httpd.conf file is pretty vanilla (only major change is PHP)
I do not know where Windows logs TCP/IP activity so that might be a start.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
thx
Andy Kriger

Since Windows is unsecure out-of-the-box :) I installed ZoneAlarm and I shut
it down in order to cut that out of the loop so I don't think firewall is
the problem.

Hi,
yes, they are not active by default. I also forgot that you have a windows
box so it most likely doesn't work, because there might be no software
installed.
I really would think you have still some kind of active firewall, but I am
not that familiar with windows.

Add a listen directive on the IP Address given for your DSL, ie:
Listen 192.145.65.23:80
into your httpd.conf and restart Apache.
Check the error log for anything that seems related to this.

RE: Help needed - cannot access Apache from outside my box

If that were true, wouldn't I be unable to use the IP address locally?
Running ipconfig shows that there is an ethernet card & a PPP adapter (the
Verizon DSL modem is plugged into this). The PPP adapter IP address is what
I have been using locally and to ping from outside.
How can I tell what Apache is binding to when it starts?

Have you got 2 NICs by any chance? ie: the DSL Modem and an internal
Ethernet one?
The problem could be that Apache is failing to bind onto port 80 on
the DSL modem............

Not sure - how would I know?
Looking at the Advanced TCP/IP Settings:
General Tab - 'Use default gateway on remote network' is selected
There are no DNS or WINS addresses
Options Tab - IP Security has 'Do not use IPSEC' selected

RE: Help needed - cannot access Apache from outside my box

I can't even telnet to 25 or 110 locally (never mind from outside)

Hi,
how about other ports on your system? Can you telnet/ssh to other ports like
pop3, smtp or ssh/telnet from the outside?
I doubt that the apache configuration is the reason, but you should check
the above first.

RE: Help needed - cannot access Apache from outside my box
Posted by Andy Kriger <an...@verizon.net>.
I can telnet locally, but not from outside.
Do I need to configure Windows to do anything with incoming requests?
Access directive? I have 'Allow from all' Is there something else I need to
configure?

Hi,
If it works locally it should work from the internet as long as you don't
have a firewall and you don't have some entries in access.conf or
httpd.conf.
You could try to telnet from an outside server to port 80 (telnet
123.123.123.123 80) and see if you get a connection.
If you do you could try it from the server itself. If you can't do it from
the internet but you can do it locally you have a firewall in the middle or
apache is configured to deny access.

Andy,
What is your ServerName listed as in your httpd.conf file? I had a similar
problem once, and because the server name could not be verified with a
reverse-DNS lookup, my Apache would start but could not be accessed from
outside the server.
Not sure if that's what you're experiencing, but it sure kept me busy for a

What is your ServerName listed as in your httpd.conf file? I had a similar

Is this a local home network address (192.168.x.x or 10.10.x.x) or your address on the Verizon
network? erm, nevermind. missed the part about the no router, hub, etc. above...
Can you get to your server using the Verison Network IP? Which makes this a yes, I assume since
you stated you can access it with your IP address. Have you tried this from another location
(friend's house, library, ...)?
What is you IP address?

If you have a broadband router/hub set it to forward incoming port 80 to your server's local
home network IP address. Which you don't... (I really must read more closely the first time).
then
Head over to http://www.dyndns.org/ . This is a free Dynamic DNS service. Gives you a stable
hostname to use instead of your stable or dynamic IP address.
