There are some other basic settings you are missing then. You need to check to see if the server can receive traffic on port 80 from external addresses. Somewhere in the Apache config files you can specify what IP addresses to receive traffic for (or am I think about Postfix again?)...
Maybe step back abit and find a tutorial on setting up Apache from scratch? I might be able to help you with this later tonight or tomorrow night... Talk to you at the meeting?
