I'm unable to find any tutorials or information in regards to configuring the web server portion in the Synchronet Control Panel. I've opened ports 80 & 443 through my router and firewall. I don't have a domain name but trying to just use my external IP address to access the website. I can see the Web Server recognizes a connection has been made to it but I get nothing reporting back in the web browser.
7/28 06:32:47a 2564 HTTP connection accepted from: {My External IP Address} port 59840
7/28 06:32:47a 2564 Request: GET / HTTP/1.1
7/28 06:32:47a 2564 Guest account unavailable
7/28 06:32:47a 2564 Sending file: F:\sbbs\temp\SBBS_SSJS.3252.2564.html (0 bytes)
Not sure if I misconfigured something, I'm missing a step, or whatever other possibility there could be?
Thanks for any and all help / guidance.
Thank you for your quick response!
I host an FTPES site using FileZilla on same router using the external IP address and it works. I love the Synchronet BBS! I was able to get it working. I missed the good ole days of being a BBS Sysop. I've just never hosted a website before so this is a learning experience for me.
Are there any additional ports I need to open on the router and/or Firewall other than port 80 and 443?
WS listens on port 1123 and WSS listens on port 11235. I'm also trying to be careful as to how many ports I allow access through.
I greatly appreciate the help!

My ISP is relentless, they blocked port 8080 on me making it impossible
to run a web server without a static IP address.

Not since changing settings a couple of weeks ago to show my origin line.
