Need help setting up my router

[sorex]

I have one question, must the ":8080" always be set explicit?

yes, otherwise it will just use port 80 because that's the default for http. why don't you use port 80 anyway?

 

[Cableguy]

I am sorry just thought of that : you from inside the Lan can you still see the default page ?

actually no, its giving me the same error page (access denied) as with the tugadroid.ddns.net:8080

 

[sorex]

you need to give users access to the public_html or whatever folder it is.

start with 775

 

[Cableguy]

Just redid the NAT, no more need for the :8080

@sorex, where should I look for that, in APACHE?

 

[sorex]

it's a command to change the rights on a folder.

some file manager should be able to do that aswell.

 

[sorex]

check this > http://raspberrywebserver.com/linux-basics/users-and-permissions.html

 

[lemonisdead]

actually no, its giving me the same error page (access denied)

This means that you can try by your own to CHMOD the web folder and even the html file (I would suggest to try with the file for the first try as root created it I guess).
Sorex is right about 775

this is driving me NUTS!!!!

I think I have all set correctly... but can't get access to the folder anymore even within my network
I'm rebooting the pi just to check once again

 

[lemonisdead]

driving me NUTS!!!!

Please don't stress. It is usual to be lost with such problems when starting. After that it will just been fine.
When you talked about a Webadmin application, is it Webmin ?

 

[Cableguy]

yes it is... I may have f*cked up my apache, since I could get the default webpage "it works" and now I get only access denied!!!
Anyway to "restore"?

 

[sorex]

I'm only familiar with the windows version but it should spit out some logs where you can see what goes wrong.

 

[lemonisdead]

Anyway to "restore"?

Yes, Webmin menu at its top : "Action logs" and you'll find the actions you've done (I hope the logs where enabled by default though).

But we could check the server configuration too : under Server \ Apache Webserver, you have created a Virtual server there should be set the web root path

Edit: Sorex provided the link to setup the directives

 

[sorex]

check > http://askubuntu.com/questions/325498/apache-cant-access-folders-in-my-home-directory

 

[lemonisdead]

Found that too (recent) : https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=134707&p=897083

Edit: and about applying changes, in Webmin \Apache Webserver at the top right, you have links to start, apply changes and stop Apache directly (no needs to restart the Pi)

 

[Cableguy]

I just can't get it to work!

 

[Cableguy]

I have made progress...

This seems to work:

http://tugadroid.ddns.net/info.php

can any of you test it?

 

[Ormente]

Yep, it works for me.

 

[sorex]

did you have any default document in your root? index.htm index.html will do.

if not the access denied will pop up because you have folder browsing disabled.

 

[Cableguy]

I had one but didn't work... I will try to recreate my website into the PiServer

 

[sorex]

or index.php
