some weeks ago I've prepared a virtual server in Virtualbox. It has the following specifications:
OS: Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS
Arch: 32 bits
RAM: 1 GB
Virtual Hard Disk Size: 360 GB
Network adpaters:
- eth0: NAT
- eth1: Bridge adapter
I also installed the following modules: apache2, php5 and ssh
Well, the situation is the following one:
I want to access the server via url (http://ip_address:port
). When I enter without doing any change to ports.conf (located in /etc/apache2) as http://server_public_ip
or http://server_public_ip:80
, in the web browser appears the "It works!" test page. But if I change the port in ports.conf (i.e to 8000, 8072 or 8080), and after that change I reload the apache server, when I'm going to enter to the server (http://server_public_ip:8000
, http://server_public_ip:8072
or http://server_public_ip:8080
, depending of the given port), it shows me the 404 error page.
My question is: How can I unlock those ports (or any other one) to access to the server via URL?
Note I've tried with iptables and ufw, but they didn't help to solve the problem.
