First things first, I'm a total self-taught noob. That said, I've gotten pretty far along on my own, but now I need some help and I can't find enough info just searching on my own. Here's my situation:
I have 2 ubuntu machines on my network running apache2, whose web pages I want to be able to access from the internet. 1 machine is my MythTV box, and primarily I want to be able to access MythWeb remotely. I'm also running Torrentflux, Webmin, and PhpMyAdmin on that box, and forwarding port 80 to that machine lets me do all that. Each of those is password protected.
Just recently I set up a 2nd box running a headless fileserver with Samba, and I've also installed Torrentflux and PunBB (forum software) on this box (along with Webmin, too). I would like to discontinue using Torrentflux on my MythTV box and instead run it on the fileserver.
I can access everything locally on my network just fine, but it seems like I can only access 1 box or the other from outside my router, depending on which one I forward port 80 to.
I've tried editing /etc/apache2/ports.conf to listen to port 8080, and then forwarding that port to that machine, but for whatever reason, all I get is 404 errors when I try to connect to, for example, http://myipaddress:8080/forums
Can anyone tell me if there are additional configuration files that I need to edit to get my fileserver box to properly listen to port 8080 and then serve me my Torrentflux and PunBB pages? I feel like there's something stupid I'm overlooking and I'm too much of a noob to know what it is. For what it's worth, though, I *DO* know enough to restart my apache server when I change the port it's listening to. 🙂
Finally, might there be a better way to do this, overall? For example, my router (using DD-WRT) supports VPN, and naturally this would all work while I'm VPN'd into my network, but I'd rather they were publicly accessible, relying on the port differentiation to determine which server I'm accessing, and each application's own password security to restrict access.
