How to forward my server behind a router ?
Hello, I own Edimax BR-6204WLg router with it’s own administration and i would like to know how can i make my external IP to point to my server and not to the administration panel of the router. I run an Apache with Mysql server and i’ve already added a domain in the router.
You have to port forward to the server within the routers setup pages. Port forwarding, tells inbound traffic, where its is to be directed for specific "port" requests, like http.
For apache here are the settings
http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Edimax/BR-6204WG/Apache.htm
to set port 80 and 443
for MySql http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Edimax/BR-6204WG/MySQL_Server.htm
port 3306
If it were mine I would set the Edimax to use port 8080 or 82 or 83 for its admin interface so I could still address the web interface once these settings are done.
Hope that helps
