FTP works, apache does not

I have a DSL connection with a dynamically assigned IP address. I connect to the 'net using a router and each computer connects to the router using DHCP (although the LAN IPs are leased forever). I set up my router (SMC Barricade) to map ports 21 and 80 to my G4 (192.168.2.14).

On the WAN side, FTP works like a charm (well, I do have some bugs to work out), but my apache web server doesn't work at all. Port 80 times out, eventhough I can get every other port to say that it is "closed".

Everything works find on the LAN (although SMC has told me there's a bug in the Barricade preventing me from accessing my ftp/web servers using my WAN IP). In otherwords, http://192.168.2.14 and ftp://192.168.2.14 work fine on the LAN.

Do I in some way need to configure apache to work? or maybe it's a problem with the router.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks for the help! I actually figured this to be true in the mean time =(. Seems my ISP (Verizon DSL) has blocked off port 80.

There isn't a way to make a domain name point directly to a port other than 80 without putting a :## after it, is there? I don't think so, but if there is, I'd love to hear.

In that case... I could really use a free hosting service with a short name, without pop ups (banners would be ok, i think). After all, I'm just gonna have it redirect to mydom.dyndns.org:8000 on load.

I guess any help in that regard would be greatly appreciated!

I know this thread is old, but i did a search and i have the same problem..

except.. i am using the apache that comes with osx. But when i go to httpd.conf all it says is that the httpd.conf is the main file for apahce but there is no other info... so maybe u can help me out.

I want to be able to change the port from 80 to something else because adelphia blocked port 80
