Title: Cannot Access My Webserver
Post by: AussieBloke on Sunday 26 February 2012, 09:52:15 pm
I have just installed a fresh version of 2.5.1. Now I cannot access my webserver using the external domain name. eg: mydomain.com

This is the configuation I used on 2.4.1

----------

Uplink ANY    TCP+UDP/80    ALLOW    172.17.1.51 : 80
ALLOW from:    <ANY>

----------

I can access it from an external connection, but not an internal connection.

Endian replies with

--------------------------
he requested URL could not be retrieved
While trying to retrieve the URL: http://www.mydomain.com/

The following error was encountered:

Connection Failed

The system returned:
(110) Connection timed out

The remote host or network may be down. Please try the request again.

Your cache administrator is webmaster.

I can access external websites but not my own.

You should check what your dns name is resolved to when you try to access it from internal connection and what ip it is resolved to on firewall. If you have enabled proxy on the firewall you should make sure that dns is either resolved to external ip or forwarded to internal ip directly.

The dns resolves correctly, so it is not a dns issue.

Turning the poxy off does not fix the problem. It should work with the proxy on, it always did in the past.
