problem accessing ZM thru WAN

Post by BobS0327 »

I have ZM 1.22.2 installed and I have absolutely no problem accessing it from my LAN.

Unoforuntely, I cannot access ZM from WAN. The connection times out.

I am using port forwarding thru DynDns using a LinkSys router to connect to a Windows back end server and to attempt to connect to ZM.

I believe my ISP is blocking inbound connections to port 80 which may be the cause of my problem. Thus, is there any way to change the port that ZM is listening on?

Thanx

ZM actualy doesn't listen on any port but the apache web server does. You can change the port in the apache conf file (usualy httpd.conf).

or if you dont want to mess around with the apache config, you can just use https://DYNDNSADDRESS.com as most ISP dont block secure http, and just port 80

Finally resolved the problem. It was my router. I replaced the router and everything works great. I had a severe electrical storm a few months ago which trashed some electronic HA equipment, the storm may also have damaged my router.
