 Posted: Mon 30 Oct '06 17:43 Post subject: Apache doesn't run on Belkin at all |
 |
|
Hi All And Professionals At There,
I have apache installed and im trying to run it behind a Belkin Router. I have Port Forwarded the ports. It doesn't work to access it on the public IP but it works on the Network IP e.g. 192.168.2.x. But it works when i disable NAT or connect it directly to the MODEM. I have contacted Belkin and followed their steps but still nothing. Belkin cant even solve my problem. So im wondering if your professionals can solve it or is it just impossible to use Belkin for Apache. And oh ya, i have tried to disable the firewall on the belkin router but still nothing.
Belkin
Firmware Version
4.05.03
Boot Version
2.01.02
Hardware
F5D7231-4 |

Try after a complete facotry restore (software first, then do a hardware reset)
I had that isseus it was something about remote management binding to port 80 bah. That solved ti for me. I ran apache through 3 belkins sofar no problem. |

192.168 isn't a public IP, that is a private class C range.
So do you want your server accesible from the WAN?
If the answer is yes then if you connect your server directly to the modem, disable ALL firewalls, security monitoring crap, and run the system completely naked for the test, can you access your server from a WAN connection to the IP?
You can use a proxy such as http://babelfish.altavista.com or even better http://www.hidemyass.com and test if need be for a true WAN test.
Start with eliminating any possible issue, a direct naked unprotected connection to the internet and is the server reachable?
Next, add the router but turn OFF the firewall. You will now be on a local IP, like 192.168.x.x, you said that you can reach it with NAT off, so you should be able to again.
Next, try setting NAT, does it work?
Basically start from the beginning and work your way back in, that is how I found out where I was going wrong with my Zyxel firewall/router. |

I'm looking at the manual for your router, what do you have for the following settings under Firewall | Virtual server (a.k.a. - Port Forwarding):
Enable (check box) - checked or not
Description - __________
Inbound post ( ____ - ____ )
Type - TCP or UDP
Private IP address - ___
Private port ( _____ - _____ )
Next, what are you using a wired or wireless connection?
Are you using the router's DHCP server?
If you are using DHCP, does your currently assigned IP match that in (Port Forwarding)? |

Hey guys,
DCHP Server : Enabled
Port forwarding ports: 8080/ 443.
Check Box: Ticked
And a Wireless Router : BELKIN
Plus guys, when i connect manually to the internet without NAT apache works on a public ip 213.xxx.xxx:8080 so that means apache is working fine but on the router it just isn't working.
So had this great idea, why not connect it manually from my PC and share my internet connection on my computer over wireless, so i would like be the server but i dont really know how to do this. |

| When i connect my internet manually, without a private ip e.g. 192.xxx or 10.xxx. just directly. So apache works great like that, just now i want to share my internet connection |

If you have DHCP enabled, how do you know which IP to port forward to?
I would think you would static the IP for you server, then you know where to forward traffic to 'cuase this sure appears to be a very simple routing issue on the surface... |

| Brian is right about knowing which IP to forward to since you are using DHCP. You can use DHCP on the network, but the PC running the server is going to need a static IP so that Port Forwarding will work continually. Otherwise, when the IP Lease from DHCP expires your forwarding will die with it. I do not have a Belkin, but my router appears to operate in a similar fashion. I use an IP from the DHCP pool as a static IP (for the server), and then forward inbound request on Port 80 (443 and a few others) to the IP I take from the pool. |

| I do know which IP to port forward. Im already doing that. Im forwarding them to 192.168.2.2 (MY PRIVATE IP) and ports forwarded to 8080 and 443 |

Okay well without NAT you have no issues but with NAT you do.
We can safely assume the problem could be in NAT routing. So, maybe it just takes some time on the phone with Belkin? Do they offer tech support?
Personally, I do not know jack about Belkins, never used, owned or touched one. But really it's all semantics when it comes to the differences between how things get done, just as long as the router has the capabilities to do what you need it to do. |
