Thread:Project:Support desk/Installation works on LAN, fails to run online

Hello, I am having trouble accessing my mediawiki installation outside of my LAN. When I connect to my server via my internal ip it works perfectly however when I try to use my external ip when im outside of my network, it fails to load anything (the browser stays in a state of "connecting" without displaying any error messages).

I am using a router but I checked my port forwarding and it is fine. I can access other server folders except for the mediawiki one.

Here is the specs if it helps: 1. LAMP server under Ubuntu+Gnome running apache2 2. MediaWiki 1.15.5-3 3. PHP 5.3.5-1ubuntu7.2 4. MySQL 5.1.54-1ubuntu4

The documentroot is configured to run on the folder /var/lib/mediawiki but I did not touch any of the directories nor its permissions.

Please if anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you very much!
