Wordpress blog access from the Internet

Post by force317 »

In august I posted a question here about setting up a Wordpress blog on the B3.

This works fine now, but only local access from the laptops en netbooks at home.

How do I make the wordpress blog on the B3 reachable from the internet. Do I have to configure something
on my router. I have the B3 version that has now own WIFI or router functions, so is a B3 server connected
to my D-Link router.

In the router you need to port-forward port 80 to the ip-address of your B3. Port 80 is standard http://-port and all requests on that port from internet needs to be passed on to the B3.

Isn't it advisable to use https instead of http ? And is that the same port ?

No, it's a different port - 443. For a blog that's going to be publicly accessible it isn't worth using https. However, if it's going to be private and have some kind of authentication method then yes, use https.
