I have been trying to configure my Mac as a web server also, I believe the problem is within my router, I can view the page within my LAN but not from the 'outside'. For some reason, my router is not doing the port forwarding that I am asking it to. Any advice?
Double-check the port forwarding.
You want to forward your public IP address, on the *outside* (WAN) interface, port 80, to the private IP address of your serving Mac, on the *inside* (LAN) interface, also on port 80.
If course, getting that to work, even if your router is set correctly, is contingent on your ISP not blocking port 80 in their routers...
