Perfect Server, OpenSUSE 13.1 - Apache on http://[public IP]:8080 ". . not available"

Hi

I have completed HowtoForge tutorial The Perfect Server - OpenSUSE 13.1 x86_64 (Apache2, MySQL, PHP, Postfix, Dovecot and ISPConfig 3), but I find that - after getting my public IP from

Code:

curl -s checkip.dyndns.org|sed -e 's/.*Current IP Address: //' -e 's/<.*$//'

http://[public IP of my openSUSE]:8080

is ". . not available"

Because I had no static IP, I skipped step 4 Configure The Network Settings on page 3, leaving the system configured to get the IP address with DHCP (I DID turn off the firewall, tho).

I commented out the lines beginning "php_admin_flag . . " in /etc/apache2/conf.d/squirrelmail.conf

and the output of

Code:

# systemctl status apache -l

is

Code:

Is there something I haven't done (maybe something to do with firewalls|routers) ?

Any advice would be much appreciated

 

I ran

Code:

- netstat -tap

and got

I DID manage to connect with

Code:

https://192.168.0.6:8080

(after various STERN warnings)

Thanks, Till. I port-fowarded port 8080 TCP to my internal IP for the server and [after some lengthy confusion, owing to not quite using the EXACT IP address] I managed to connect with the external IP for my router.

Best regards
