Re: Configuring apache and smokeping on dynamic IP

I have a fedora30 desktop on a dynamic IP behind a cable modem that
I'd like to configure to support apache and specifically smokeping.
The problem I'm having I believe is with php-fpm. I've installed and
configured it, but trying to access it results in a gateway timeout
error. I do see entries in the logs when this fails, so I'm sure I'm
at least reaching the desktop successfully.
The desktop is on a dynamic IP (192.168.9.110) behind a cable modem
with a dynamic IP. I've configured port forwarding for port 8027 to
forward to port 8027 on the machine itself where apache is listening.
I've also configured port 8022 to forward to port 8022 on the desktop
to provide ssh access, and can ssh to it successfully.
I've configured the smokeping.conf apache config to allow any IP to
communicate with it for now. I can also reach the default fedora test
page successfully.
What is the minimum apache config that is necessary to work with
smokeping without configuring a virtual host? I haven't changed the
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf and
/etc/httpd/conf.d/fcgid.conf files from the default. I've just
changed the Listen statement in ssl.conf to use 8022 instead of 80.
Normally, the SSL config listens to port 443, not 80. And some clients
will refuse to make HTTPS connections to port 80 (or other unusual
ports). There could be some SELinux issues with unusual ports, too.
I'm not sure about SSL configurations, but with the main HTTP
configuration, it's possible to listen to more than one port. That way
local users can test connecting to the usual ports without having to
type port numbers into URIs.
Here is my /etc/httpd/conf.d/smokeping.conf:
<Directory "/usr/share/smokeping" >
Require local
Require ip 68.195.193 192.168
</Directory>
<Directory "/var/lib/smokeping" >
Require local
Require ip 68.195.193 192.168
</Directory>
You've put in some requirements. Does your address match the
requirement rules? I see in one of your below tests that it's
different:
The /var/log/php-fpm/www-error.log file is empty. After attempting
to
reach the system remotely, I see the following message in the apache
error_log from my remote IP:
