I have installed an OpenSUSE 12.1 server with Apache, PHP, MYSQL and ownCloud. The Internal address for the server is static 192.168.1.5 and I can access ownCloud from any PC on the internal network. Everything ownCloud related works fine. Now, when I try to access the ownCloud server from outside the local network I get a browser error. Now, i checked the router and I see in the log file of the router the request for port 80 and I have enabled forwarding the HTTP traffic on the router for port 80 to the server with the address 192.168.1.5. I checked listen.conf file and there port 80 is also enable.d What did I miss?
Did you open port 80 in your router's firewall? You might also want to check if your ISP is blocking port 80.
When I am on my router I see the IP address of the requesting machine for port 80. I also use WinTV Extend from Hauppauge (internet video server) on a different PC on the network using port 7799 and I am routed to that PC and it works perfectly. How I can check that port 80 is requested on the OpenSUSE server?
Ok, I figured it out. It seems that the router is not properly forwarding HTTP requests for port 80. I changed the webserver to listen to port 7798 (file /etc/appache2/listen.conf) and updated the router to forward all HTTP requests on port 7798 to the server. Now it works.
