I have apache running again and I have it working on my local subnet but it's not letting me get it outside of the local network which ...

All - this site was unfortunately down for a while - my internal drive on the computer that hosted the side died and I had to restore the site from backups but more importantly rebuild the operating system before I got everything going again.

It should be good to go now.

I have a much better ...
