I've been given an old XP pc and have put (X)ubuntu on it in order to get a web-server running with the goal being to let family members sign in and download TV shows/movies/etc.

Have set it up according to a couple of sites (a mix of Ubuntu/apache etc sites) and am using ngrok to open up a tunnel (with the end goal being once it's running and accessible, i will go for the $5/mnth for the permanent address).

Have apache/mysql/php working (this is NEW territory for me, but i THINK it is working correctly) and have ngrok running, but i cannot connect from an external device (my tablet).

I THINK the problem is with firewall (ufw on ubuntu and the router firewall): have tried to get port 80 accessible through both , have allowed access through the router firewall for the web-server: my next plan is to completely stop ufw on the pc and just allow the router to run things.

Does anyone have advice/tips/help?

Gotta be at least a couple people familiar with running a web site around here :)

    Donald fecking Trump taught me something!
    Should I say thanks? Should I run and hide?

    Should I shake his hand (always being aware of the 'pull in' thing he does)?

    Is theRealDonaldTrump REALLY HillaryClinton???

    :) Thanks.

    You're welcome.

    And if you want to thank me some more, when you have your elections. You folks have something that I guess is like our Electoral College. Where you vote for a guy, and that guy votes for the guy -- or woman -- who runs your Country. And hopefully you'll vote for somebody that isn't with Justin. He's been charging the U.S. massive tariffs and creating non-monetary barriers. Keeping our farmers and others out. Killing our economy! Canada used to be a great friend, they're not a friend anymore. And that's too bad.
