Problems forwarding port 80

Technical Support for Routers

Hi,

I just received my newGL-AR750 and am happy so far except I have one problem, I can’t seem to forward port 80, it keeps giving meGL.iNet Admin Panel instead of forwarding me to the http server of the selected host. I’ve configured the following under Firewall:
name: http
protocol: UDP/TCP
external zone: WAN
external ports: 80
internal zone: lan
internal ip: 192.168.1.198
internal ports: 80
status: Enabled

and it keeps giving me the password screen of the GL.iNet admin interface.
I have forwarded ssh port 2222 to internal port 22 on the same host which works as expected. How can I successfully forward port 80 and disable the GL.iNet interface reachability from the WAN side?

Which version of firmware do you use?

I upgraded yesterday:
Current Version 3.104
OpenWRT 18.06.1

You cannot forward 80 because 80 is used by the router itself.

If you do want to forward 80 you need to change the router’s web to a different port. Pls check /etc/lighttpd/ to see if you can find the port 80 settings. Maybe in /etc/lighttpd/config.d/

Well, I think updating my certificates and the addition of forwarding port 443, seems to have fixed the issue
