I've setup a server at home with Ubuntu server 14.04 LTS to develop and experiment on for our Magento webshop. The server itself runs fine when contacted from the internal network. I got magento to load under 1s so everything runs fine.

However now i switch a lot between locations and would like to keep to work on the installation form an external point.

When i call the server by IP nothing loads... when i remove the CMS and place a static HTML page it loads fine. However when i put the CMS (magento store in this case) back and try to reach it nothing works.

I had Apache2 configured to listen to 2417 instead of 80 (my router blocks it), and setup a port forward.

After some googling i cannot come up with a solution and hope you guys can steer me in the right direction :)

If i have left out needed information please ask and i'll fill in (Kind of new to the external home server setup... )

UPDATE: I've just performed a clean install to start from scratch, Apache2 has been configured to listen to 2417.

Firewal is inactive

Do i need to set other components like MySQL to listen to another port also to make te CMS accessible from the outside?

Thanks in advance! Kind regards, NIck

After some thinkering around i've found the solution:

Setting: curl --max-time [seconds] --connect-timeout [seconds] http://yoururl.com/ to a longer time limit has resolved the issue.

I found out that libcurl gave a connection-timedout at 2000 miliseconds.
