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: apache2.service - The Apache Webserver Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/apache2.service; enabled) Active: active (running) since Tue 2014-11-18 10:32:13 GMT; 1h 34min ago Main PID: 1606 (httpd2-prefork) Status: "Total requests: 0; Current requests/sec: 0; Current traffic: 0 B/sec" CGroup: /system.slice/apache2.service ├─1606 /usr/sbin/httpd2-prefork -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf -DSSL -D SYSTEMD -DFOREGROUND -k start ├─1846 vlogger (access log) ├─1853 /usr/sbin/httpd2-prefork -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf -DSSL -D SYSTEMD -DFOREGROUND -k start ├─1872 /usr/sbin/fcgi-pm -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf -DSSL -D SYSTEMD -DFOREGROUND -k start ├─1873 /usr/sbin/httpd2-prefork -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf -DSSL -D SYSTEMD -DFOREGROUND -k start ├─1875 /usr/sbin/httpd2-prefork -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf -DSSL -D SYSTEMD -DFOREGROUND -k start ├─1876 /usr/sbin/httpd2-prefork -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf -DSSL -D SYSTEMD -DFOREGROUND -k start ├─1878 /usr/sbin/httpd2-prefork -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf -DSSL -D SYSTEMD -DFOREGROUND -k start └─1879 /usr/sbin/httpd2-prefork -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf -DSSL -D SYSTEMD -DFOREGROUND -k start Nov 18 10:32:13 linux-urfg start_apache2[1606]: [Tue Nov 18 10:32:13.224588 2014] [so:warn] [pid 1606] AH01574: module fastcgi_module is already loaded, skipping Nov 18 10:32:13 linux-urfg start_apache2[1606]: AH00548: NameVirtualHost has no effect and will be removed in the next release /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-ispconfig.conf:62 Nov 18 10:32:13 linux-urfg systemd[1]: Started The Apache Webserver. Is there something I haven't done (maybe something to do with firewalls|routers) ? Any advice would be much appreciated

Ok, so your server is configured correctly. If you cant connect with the extarnal IP, then you should check your router now to ensure that you forwarded port 8080 tcp to the internal Ip of the server.
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 Guy
