Thanks for your help everything worked out well.
The server seemed to only work locally
I know why i was unable to connect to my web server from outside.
i had gotten a vonage adapter a few months back which is hooked up behind my Modem then to my router.
That is was why it was blocking what i was trying to do.from the outside.
So rather then playing with all the vonage settings internal router i reversed the set up.
Cable modem to Router, Router to vonage adapter.
Rebooted and everything was successfully moving along smoothly and i was able to access the server.
The port numbers i referenced to were not the actual port numbers but only a guide.
At first i thought it was a bug with the apache server, so i installed 2.2 and renamed the old one to apache-bak.
Now that all is working i can delete 2.2 and use the 1.3 version which they say is the hardened version.
Thank you so much
Hm the reason i edit was at some time back i was told i should check my spelling if i intend to get a proper reply for help
