Hi All. My flightaware external IP has stopped working for some reason I have port 8080 open on my router and my external IP hasn’t changed. Can anyone advise on what may be wrong?

Can you access it internally, then it’s a problem with the router forwarding.

For checking the local webserver, this log is useful:

```auto
sudo journalctl --no-pager -u lighttpd

```

You’ll need local or SSH access though.

```

This should do the trick if you paste it in one piece 😉  
Then restart lighttpd:

```auto
sudo systemctl restart lighttpd

```

You can check the log if it’s starting now.

You’d need to paste all 3 lines at once.  
I’ve made it one line, but be sure you get everything until the end.

Do I need to type another code first? Nothing happens

Nope, shouldn’t output anything.  
Just change something.  
Try restarting and check the log.

Well the web server is running.

Ctrl-F5?

In doubt, use a fresh image.

```auto
wget http://localhost:8080/index.html

```

What does this return?  
Also do a reboot and show the lighttpd log again, but post it on [https://pastebin.com/](https://pastebin.com/) so it’s easier to read and post the link here.

So you see the webserver is working.

The router forwarding the port is not.

As you can see here I have ports open but it still doesn’t connect

And that worked before?

There is no outgoing data on port 8080 that could activate this forwarding.
