Apache/Webpages on NAT IPv4 VPS?
OK, got a VPS from DollarVZ and just playing around trying to get Apache2 up and running. I do not have a domain pointing to the VPS as that's not what I am trying to do. Using the shared IP and one of my available ports, I was trying to see if I could serve web pages. I installed everything I need fine, apache is running and etc etc. I edited the necessary files and changed the port to one of my available ports. However, after visiting the IP, eg: 84.39.1.30:5219 nothing is showing up. Obviously I am doing something wrong. Anyone care to help out? What (if it's possible) needs to be edited so I can serve websites on an available port on the shared IP?
All fixed. Was obviously my own fault. Mod_sec rules seem to be a bit different on NAT VPS? No idea why but my setup I use on dedicated IPs and standard port needed some rules edited out. Anyway, just playing. Thank you all.

well, "nothing shows up" could mean a lot of things really, does nothing show up, but an apache error? or connection refused/timeout? or just a blank page.
when you changed /etc/apache2/ports.conf and /etc/apache2/sites-available/yourwebsite to the port you wished to use, did you restart the apache2 service?
Point taken. I'll see what the error message is and post it.
make sure that port is allowed on your iptables
