Either by using my outside IPaddy or hostname.
It is enabled per default - you dont need to enable anything.

You cannot forward a port which is blocked by our ISP - blocked is blocked. You must configure Apache to LISTEN to different port than 80 - use directive LISTEN 8080 for example to listen on port 8080.
Or you may configure your router to map external port 8080 to internal port 80 - but in any case, the clients outside have to specify port 8080 in order to reach your webserver (i.e.
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080).
Yes, exactly... I need to know which conf files need to be changed from listening 80 to, like your example, 8080.
I've tried /etc/apache2/ports.conf and /opt/lampp/etc/httpd.conf
When I change /opt/lampp/etc/httpd.conf and then restarting XAMPP, it gives me an error. I posted this error just recently, but now I know it was caused by changing that conf file.
So, I need to know the conf file(s) that need to changed if I want to listen to a different port.
