How to run a WebPy server on port 8080 using DDNS of dlink router and to access this site from internet?
- by nuke1010
I have two major issue with setting up a web server using my dlink DIR-600L router.
Issue 1:
I run a WebPy server on port 8080. But the DDNS service providers (like dlinkddns.com or dyndns.org) only allows port 80. I can run the server in port 80 with sudo command. But my server become vulnerable if i give root access. So I tried port forwarding in the router and server. But no use. I don't know if I done that correctly.
Issue 2:
Even though the server runs on port 80, I can access my site from my local machines only using registered domain names ( say, nikz.dyndns.org). No one on internet cannot load this site even when its totally up. As I observed server log, the request from other clients never reached my server.
I need to run this server on port 8080 and i need to access this site from internet. How can I do it? any idea?
