I'm currently trying to setup my own own-cloud server, and I've got it fully installed, configured, and accessible from within my own local network. I cannot figure out how to access it from the outside. So far I've:

  • Successfully setup port-forwarding on my local router.
    • I've done so via 'single port forwarding' and 'port range forwarding'
    • Ports 80, 443, 3306 (Apache-Full and MySQL)
  • Successfully obtained my external IP address.
    • I've also tested this magic number from within the network at #insertIPhere/owncloud and it did work.
  • Successfully setup the server using SQLite
  • Successfully setup the server using MySQL
  • Created the following exceptions in my firewall:
    • Allow In Port 80 (Apache Full)
    • Allow In Port 443 (Apache Full)
    • Allow In Port 3306 (MySQL)
  • Tried connecting from several different remote networks, as to troubleshoot something on their end

As far as trying to access it, I'm doing so through Google-Chrome and Mozilla Firefox trying to reach the server through #insertIPhere/owncloud using the above public IP address.

So what have I missed, and how do I access my server from outside?

Thanks in advance for your help and time, and I apologize in advance for what will probably result in my noobish mistake in networking.

I've looked at the official documentation. And also this question here.
