I just made a website through Apache server and word-press. I am able to access it when i am connected to local network.Although i have done port forwarding settings to my router and through ufw i can't access it from other networks. I am using 'public_ip'/site1 (when i am from local 192.168.x.x) but i get 403 forbidden. If i don't use /site1 i got the page that says Apache works, and i suppose that means my port-forwarding works well. So i believe it has to do with word-press settings or /var/www/html/site1 permissions. Here is ls -l /var/www/html/site1 output: everything is -rwxr-xr-x except wp-admin,wp-content,wp-includes which is drwxr-xr-x thanks in advance guys edit: virtual host conf file is the apache default(000-default.conf)
<VirtualHost *:80>
# The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that
# the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
# redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
# specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
# match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
# value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
# However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.
#ServerName www.example.com
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
# Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,
# error, crit, alert, emerg.
# It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular
# modules, e.g.
#LogLevel info ssl:warn
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
# For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are
# enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to
# include a line for only one particular virtual host. For example the
# following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only
# after it has been globally disabled with "a2disconf".
#Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf
</VirtualHost>
Alias
directive, and maybe you should addServerName <your-LAN-ip>
andServerAlias <your-public-ip>
or vice versa. I would prefer to buy a cheap domain name, for example the price of .me, .ninja, .space, .site is about $4/year - you can buy it from www.domain.com or any other DNS provider. – pa4080 Sep 14 '18 at 11:18
