Hi. I have a problem!
I am using Apache along with a software system on a server at a club.
The system is accessed over Internet to make bookings. There is a
router in between the club LAN and the Internet. There is a static IP
address for the server. The first message from the Internet to the
club that activates two introductory screens works fine and you will
see an example with amended - for security reasons - IP addresses
below. The first interaction from the customer, when booking details
are sent to the server over Internet, causes the http IP address to
change to that of the router after which the booking sequence falls
over because the server can no longer be accesed over Internet.
USING WEB ADDRESS
First screen
http://www.xxx.
2ndscreen
http://www.xxx/cgi-bin
3rd screen where problem begins and router IP address is substituted
http://192.168.0.2/cgi-bin/ai
Sure will cause a problem! You are using an address that can not EVER
be accessed via the internet. Your 192.168... address is the NATed
address on your LAN, and is in one of the private IP ranges that works
fine on a local LAN, but not on the internet. For someone to access
your server from the internet, they must specify (or follow a link to) a
public IP address (the WAN side of your router), or a URL that can point
to public IP address via DNS.
