Hi there,

I'm having some trouble getting apache to perform correctly.

Currently its running on a debian machine, listening on eth0, with ip
192.168.x.y

This machine is set up as dmz, everything that's received on the routers
external interface gets sent to this machine. It seems to work
fine for everything except apache.

What i'm noticing is that i seem to be unable to POST data most of time,
the error i get is "unable to connect to host 192.168.x.y" which seems
to make sense since it should be posting to my routers ext ip, and not
the local address, anyone know how to fix this ?

(just for clarity, when i approach the webserver from within the local
network everything works just fine)

I've tried a number of hostname settings in httpd.conf but any
alterations made there do not seem to solve the prob.


Regards

Jeroen

Is your Apache responding with his own IP address or the natted one?
UseCanonicalName On should do the trick.

Are you sure that your router is actually forwarding port 80? Some routers
have filters that drop connection attempt to ports 21, 23 and 80 even if
you have your PC in the DMZ.

I had a similar problem just about a week ago.
The solution for me was to restart the router.
