I have a working installation of wordpress located in /var/www/html/wordpress It is accessible in my local network at [local-machine-ip]/wordpress/

There is also a test page located in /var/www/html/test.html It is also accessible in my local network at [local-machine-ip]

I would like the wordpress website to be accessible from the outside world. I know that my ISP blocks incoming requests on port 80, so I set my router to redirect requests from port 8080 to 80. This feature appears to be working correctly since I can access the test.html page using my public ip address as follows: [public-ip]:8080

However, I cannot access [public-ip]:8080/wordpress

Here is my Apache config :

<VirtualHost *:80>

        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html

    ServerName [my.domain.com]
    <Directory /var/www/html/>
        Options FollowSymLinks Indexes MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all
    </Directory>


        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

</VirtualHost>

Thanks!
