Subject: Apache and router
Hi. I have a problem!
I am using Apache along with a software system on a server at a club. The system is accessed over Internet to make bookings. There is a router in between the club LAN and the Internet. There is a static IP address for the server. The first message from the Internet to the club that activates two introductory screens works fine and you will see an example with amended - for security reasons - IP addresses below. The first interaction from the customer, when booking details are sent to the server over Internet, causes the http IP address to change to that of the router after which the booking sequence falls over because the server can no longer be accesed over Internet.
USING WEB ADDRESS
First screen
http://www.xxx.
2ndscreen
http://www.xxx/cgi-bin
3rd screen where problem begins and router IP address is substituted
http://192.168.0.2/cgi-bin/ai
4th screen etc - problem remains
http://192.168.0.2/cgi-bin/ai
USING IP ADDRESS (Amended for security reasons)
First screen
http://86.13.8.7/
2nd screen
http://86.13.8.7/cgi-bin/ai
3rd screen etc
http://192.168.0.2/cgi-bin/ai
My question. Is this an Apache config problem or a Router setting problem or both or neither?
What is the solution?
Thanks for any help

John,
Without looking at the site I would guess the cgi script has a hard coded url
(or configuration option) being the IP address of the router. Could be left
over from testing? Something is telling the client to go to 192.168.0.2. If
it were apache I would look for a redirect or no proxypassreverse mapping
(for an rproxy) in the configuration.
Regards,
Jon Snow
