forwarding tab and I set in the router port 80 on the linux box forwarded to
port 712. I also looked at the httpd time out directive and set that to 300
just for curiosity which has made Apache not work so I am going to set the
timeout back to 100.
That sounds backwards, but that might just be in the description.
From the public IP, forward port 712 (or whatever you want to use), to
the private IP (e.g. 192.168.1.1) port 80, and run your Apache listening
to port 80.
If you find that you cannot use port 80, because your ISP blocks it.
You can run your Apache on that port, and forward the same port to the
same port (i.e. public IP port 712 to private IP port 712, with Apache
listening to port 712).
Bear in mind that if your ISP prohibits running a web server, as some
do, you may get your account terminated. Some just block port 80
because the old code red exploit (which is so old that it's a stupid
thing to do - what about everything else that's still a problem, but not
blocked?), and don't care if you run a server some other way.
