[mythtv-users] Mythweb behind a firewall -- Why isnt it working? (port 80 is forwarded)

[Perry, Aaron]

And in case 8080 doesn't work, you should be able to locate Apache's
httpd.conf file and change the listen port to almost anything you want.
Just make sure that your port forwarding remains consistent, and that
you add the port number to the URL (as already mentioned) every time you
want to visit the site.  Also, since it seems that you're setting this
up for the first time, you might want to do a search in the forum for
"mythweb security".  With no modifications you might find that
everything works great, but it's very insecure (someone could make your
MythTV record Guiding Light for instance).
