    My WordPress site can't be seen from Internet.

    I have my own WordPress installed under Ubentu, and I can access it from my LAN but not from Internet.
    I have made a hole in firewall on port 80 and I can see html pages outside .

    i.e.
    http://thisistokyo.servebbs.com works
    http://thisistokyo.servebbs.com/wordpress does not work

    In the General settings I have set
    WordPress address (URL) http://thisistokyo.servebbs.com/wordpress
    Blog address (URL) http://thisistokyo.servebbs.com/wordpress

    I narrowed down the issue but don't know how to solve it.
    Ubuntu is running under a VMware workstation and when I set the vmware network adapter to bridged it does not work.

    I am using Ubuntu 9.10 server and WMWare 7.0.0-203739.

    Lars i don't think yoru question really relates to WP usage. I'm not saying an answer isn't possible, but it may not get the traction it needs in the forum here.

    Sounds like a WMWare question...

    NOTE: I think port 80 will be reserved and you may need to use an alternate port, perhaps try 8888, i think that's usually a popular alternative.. or 8080 , although it's not really my field in honesty ...

    I got the answer now and it works.

    continuum told me this:
    you have more than one physical network-card - this means you MUST disable "automatic bridging" in Virtual Network Editor" - please check that first.

    Had a feeling you meant VMWare, glad you got it sorted anyhow... ;)
