I have port forwarded 80 to my zoneminder server on the telus d-link router and so far, cannot access the server.

So, mabey I am missing something here? Does it require TCP and UDP? is there more then one port required?

Thanks

Try changing the port to something other than 80. For example, use 8080 instead of 80. Port 80 is sometimes blocked by the ISP or your router may be using 80 internally as a method of remote administration which may be causing your grief.

If you are trying to access the external IP from your local LAN it will not work, even if the port is open. Is that what you're trying to do??

Paco, yes, doing a whatismyip.com and accessing from the backside to test it is what I am trying to do. I will change the port to 8080 on my dlink router.

Another thing, zone minder is stuck in alarm mode. The event Id has not changed in two-three days. Lots of cars drive past the camera.

Just a FYI. Keep in mind that you also have to update Apache to listen on 8080 by editing (updating) the ports.conf and 000-default files. Also, you'll probably have to allow 8080 on ufw.
