well, i have a dynamic ip but this is not my problem. I also portforwarded port 80 before sending current question but I still do not have access.
There are some years passed since the last time I port-forwarded apache server and I thought that maybe some additional modifications from apache-server side are needed as the updates pass through time. I guess I have to contact my ISP again, it could be an ISP issue. thank you very much for the quick responses. <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail&utm_term=icon> Virus-free. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail&utm_term=link> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2> On Fri, Jan 11, 2019 at 10:37 PM Jonathon Koyle <literea...@gmail.com> wrote: > You may also need to look into whether you have a static or dynamic IP > address.
