Additional Port 81 is reachable from outside: error.log http://localhost:81 works and https://localhost:81 works, too http://<ip>:81 generates the error from error log above (error 400) and https://<ip>:81 results in a not avaialbe page without any error access.log Same result when using domain-name instead of IP Now I have deleted standard virtual apache and removed Listen port 81 from /etc/apache2/ports. Then I was following the article: Now it works and all is accessable.
