I don't know about the register page..but you can try changing the IP for the patch server.

tried that but that actually patch server where the files are is the local ip if i change that txt file it won't make a difference cause theres nothing there its kinda hard to explain really the patcher connects to the patch server which the files needed are on my vmware and my vmwares ip is whats its connecting to if i change the ip in the text file to my public ip then it will try and connect to my host computer which i dont have the patch server on....i think im not sure how it works lol
Simple/Basic networking. If you attempt to 'see' your server using your own public IP from inside the network, you're not going to 'see' it because most low level consumer routers/gateways etc do not permit this 'loopback' operation.
If you're saying people that are actually outside your network (on the WAN side) cannot 'see' any of your servers (the web server, or the game server) then you need to set up opening the corresponding ports WAN => LAN...
Another way to check WAN => LAN ports would be to use something like
Open Port Check Tool - Test Port Forwarding on Your Router
or you could use something like Hide My Ass! Free Proxy and Privacy Tools - Surf The Web Anonymously and punch in your own public IP to see if your 'website' "is up"
That or, of course, upgrading your networking hardware to at least "small business" 'grade' should do the trick tooThen you don't have to use any 'external tools' like port checkers or web proxy's

*super confused face* okay im going to try and make since of this so basically my friend cant connect to my register page cause i dont have the right ports open not just because its a LAN ip but if i were to open these certain ports he would? i dont have to change the ip from my LAN ip to my WAN ip or am i way off and if all i have to do is open ports which ones do i open o.o
Well most have an option like this:
I know for a fact that Netgear does, and obviously Linksys as that is what I took that from. It is usually worded weirdly like it is in that screenshot, but most do have it. You don't need an expensive "business" router either as most stock firmware is just shit in a box anyway. Get DD-WRT or something and it turns your el cheapo into something that isn't a flaming pile of crap.
If you are in the market for a new router though, I recommend the ASUS RT-N16. Insanely powerful for a router of less than $100.(128MB RAM and 400MHz CPU) It also very easily accepts DD-WRT installs, and even ASUS "approves" of you doing so (dead simple install via their Web GUI).
If you can get your hands on a old (old ones are damn near as powerful as that ASUS one, newer ones aren't) WRT-54G(L) go ahead and get it since they last forever and are from a time before Cisco started fucking around with Linksys and bullshit firmwares.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW
No point to tell it to allow if the default mode is to allow anyway... (which it is, ufw is just a front end to iptables)
Edit: And, imo, it is better to have default set to allow and only deny ports you don't want people to access... (like 3306 if you need MySQL running on something other than 127.0.0.1 for some reason, or 10111 if you run Teamspeak (serverquery port))

thanks guys for all your help i gonna try and work this out now all i have to do is figure out proper port forwarding/opening i thought i had them open but that port checker tool 343 linked told me other wise cause i check 80 8080 and 29000 and it said they werent open @_@
EDIT: okay so i got into my rounter (finally) and forwarded the needed ports 80 and 8080 is open but 29000 isnt and idk why anyone else have this problem
EDIT: also is 29000 udp or tcp? or both O_o

Simple Port Forwarding | Simple Port Forwarding™
use that to open ur ports
dont forget to DMZ the ip
and the ufw allow : 80 , 8080 , 29000 , 22 (22 for winscp if it wont connect , ul allso need apt-get install openssh-server)
ufw enable too
okay i got a question my router asks for Index, Local IP, Internal Port, Public Interface IP, Ext Start Port, Ext End Port, Protocol, the one thing im having a problem with is what ip i put under local ip the ip i get from ifconfig in my vmware the ip i get from ipconfig on my main comp or the ip i use to log into my router? also under public interface ip i have the ip i get from ipchicken
EDIT: also i just saw my router has an option called WAN blocking and its enabled could that be a problem O_o

Hey all. I downloaded the torrent containing ISOs and stuff. I copied all the files over from the image into my vmware ubuntu. When I run the start.sh script, it shows no errors starting up:
The local web page loads, but says the server is offline. That and the /admin page gives error 500 (I assume because the server is offline..).Code:=== STARTING MySQL, APACHE, & APACHE TOMCAT NOW === === STARTING MySQL === XAMPP: Starting MySQL... === DONE! === === STARTING APACHE === XAMPP: Starting Apache with SSL (and PHP5)... === DONE! === === STARTING APACHE TOMCAT === Using CATALINA_BASE: /opt/apache-tomcat-5.5.28 Using CATALINA_HOME: /opt/apache-tomcat-5.5.28 Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /opt/apache-tomcat-5.5.28/temp Using JRE_HOME: /usr/java/jre1.5.0_21 Using CLASSPATH: /opt/apache-tomcat-5.5.28/bin/bootstrap.jar === DONE! === === STARTING APACHE TOMCAT === Using CATALINA_BASE: /opt/apache-tomcat-5.5.28/2 Using CATALINA_HOME: /opt/apache-tomcat-5.5.28/2 Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /opt/apache-tomcat-5.5.28/2/temp Using JRE_HOME: /usr/java/jre1.5.0_21 Using CLASSPATH: /opt/apache-tomcat-5.5.28/2/bin/bootstrap.jar === DONE! === === ALL DONE! ===
In my /opt/lampp/htdocs/config.php I changed the ServerIP to my WAN IP, and the lan IP to my VMware IP.
All IPs in the hosts file are the VMware IP (except localhost, of course.)
The /opt/apache-tomcat-5.5.28/2/webapps/pwAdmin/WEB-INF/.userconfig.jsp IP is my VMware adapter as well.
Any idea what's wrong? Any help would be great.
