All, I have a configuration issue, and I was wondering if anybody has had the same problem? I have an adsl gateway (192.168.0.1 & external IP) and a seperate webserver (192.168.0.10) on my home network. I want to allow a user on the internet access to my webserver. I have once before configured ttssh (Tera term with ssh extension) to talk to a machine on an internal LAN of another network that was already configured to allow ssh forwarding, so I know there is a way to do this, however I can't seem to get it to work, and I suspect the problem is my Apache webserver running on port 8088 is refusing the connections.
I have my IE browser on the external machine set to use a proxy server of localhost:999 and my ttssh is set to forward localhost:999 to 192.168.0.10:8088 and I have succesffully logged into my router. When I try to browse a webpage in my browser I get an error in my apache webservers access.log logfile:- 192.168.0.1 - - [08/Dec/2002:19:29:28 +0000] "GET /private/" 403 192.168.0.1 - - [08/Dec/2002:19:29:28 +0000] www.google.com 403 this tells me that my port forwarding has been successful, but my apache is issuing a 403 forbidden message. So How do I configure my apache to allow this connection. I have my own custom authentication mechanism, which covers /private/ but this isn't being run, apache is refusing the connection before running my access control. Can anybody provide me with any help or advice? Kind regards Marty
