I'm trying to resurrect my Apache2 webserver on Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy, and I've troubleshot just about everything, but Apache2 won't listen to traffic from the internet on port 80 (or 443) but responds properly to traffic from locahost on port 80 (and 443).
Here are two examples of the problem:
From localhost:
user@webserver:~$ telnet localhost 80Trying 127.0.0.1...Connected to localhost.Escape character is '^]'.HEAD http://www.webserver.com/ HTTP/1.0HTTP/1.1 200 OKDate: Thu, 09 Jan 2025 12:38:25 GMTServer: Apache/2.4.52 (Ubuntu)Last-Modified: Fri, 17 Jun 2011 03:27:18 GMTETag: "2d-4a5dff6791e3b"Accept-Ranges: bytesContent-Length: 45Connection: closeContent-Type: text/htmlConnection closed by foreign host.From other desktop PC on internet:
user@desktop:~$ telnet www.webserver.com 80Trying 1.1.1.1...Connected to webserver.com.Escape character is '^]'.HEAD http://www.webserver.com/ HTTP/1.0Connection closed by foreign host.(I sanitized the user, FQDN, and IP information.)
I'm clearly telnetting in, telnet is clearly connecting (so there appears to be no firewall or similar port-blocking problem), but the webserver just isn't listening from the internet while it listens from localhost.
I may edit this post to include any config files that are relevant.
EDIT 1:
The server is connected via ethernet to a Spectrum router; the wired connection for the router has been placed in a DMZ. I am able to ssh into the server via Ubuntu's terminal on the desktop over port 22, sftp into to server using Filezilla on the desktop over port 22, and VNC into the server from my desktop using TigerVNC on the server and Remmina on the desktop over ports 5901-5903. It could be Spectrum is blocking traffic on ports 80 and 443 but not the other ports?
