This is router setup -- not apache setup. It is described pretty well in the router docs, and is the same for most LinkSys routers (in case you lost the docs to yours they post docs online at linksys.com). Routers have an external IP address for the WAN -- which you can set, and they have a local address (which you can also set, but which has a default of something like 192.168.1.1).
The router setup is accessed through your web-browser. Usually with linksys you enter an address of http://192.168.1.1 into your browser and it accesses the router setup screen. What this means is that the router's local address is 192.168.1.1 Note that in such a case your local PC will use 192.168.1.1 (your router) as its gateway to the WAN. What you do is set up your local Apache Server PC with a static local IP address (say something like 192.168.1.10, and a gateway of 192.168.1.1). Then you enter the port forwarding part of the router setup and forward (in this case) incoming port 80 to the local machine 192.168.1.10. If you use SSL you need to forward port 443 to the server. If you have your own email server or games.... you have to forward those ports. Have a great day! Bill Angus, MA http://www.psychtest.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Daniel L.

I'm behind a Linksys (WRT54GS) router. I've installed the packages to enable this computer (DELL Optiplex GX1) to be a webserver. I can run through the perfect debian server setup, but still have some questions. How do I make this server's webpages appear to be my router's IP? How do I make Apache2 use port 8080 instead of port 80? Is there a how to for doing this? My end objective is to be able to connect to this computer from other computers and be able to post, update webpages... I also hope to get larger hard drives and become a mirror site... as soon as I figure out 'how to' get this IDE raid working... enough of my drivel :-) ... thanks in advance for any help that you can provide... --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
