When I access 111.111.11.11:8888 from outside, I can access Tomcat page successfully.
( 111.111.11.11 is my static IP provided by PlusNet ).
Without internet, I can access the Apex Admin page on the same desktop machine by
www.my-website.com/ords/f?p=4550. This indicates, all the stack is working properly.
But if I access
www.my-website.com, over the internet, I only get blank page.
(my domain is registered with GoDaddy and is forwarded to 111.111.11.11 which is my static IP)
Why can't I access my Apex application over the internet by typing the website.
