WebSite on Virtual host access denied outside intranet

[DennyG]

Hello guys,

 

I searched the internet for a solution for several days and tried different ways but no result.

I installed Oracle Virtual Box on a Window 10 PC and there installed Debian 9 Linux as a guest OS. I used the Bridge Network connection and Guest OS is getting the local IP from our main company router. Next step Apache 2.4, MySQL, PHP 7.0 was installed. At this stage using port forwarding on the main router I was able to access Apache Welcome Page from any IP (home, mobile, local etc.). It was all fine and predictable. However, after installing Prestashop 7.2 version suddenly I am able to access the web page only from within the company LAN, not from home, mobile or anywhere else. But any computer inside the office LAN can see the web page. I assume that Prestashop is altering the privileges in some way during the installation. But inspecting different conf files such as apache2.conf, httpd.conf and others I cannot see where these changes happened. Could someone help me?

 

Also preparing the environment I used the instructions from here: https://linode.com/docs/websites/ecommerce/how-to-install-prestashop-on-ubuntu-16-04/

Maybe some command there altered the access control in some way? But I really used only 

chown -R www-data *
chgrp -R www-data *

and

 

sudo apt-get install php7.0-curl php7.0-gd php7.0-mysql php7.0-zip php7.0-xml php7.0-intl

and

 

sudo a2enmod rewrite

 

Thanks a lot!

If you put some random text file in the root of your webshop - can you access it from outside your intranet?

[DennyG]

Yep! I checked - it is reachable.

So what is the message when you try to load the webshop?

[DennyG]

It is this one.
