domain/IP + server problem (moreinfo)

[Paul Welty]

Ok, here is the current situation, and I apologize for taking up time with
this, but I just cannot figure it out.

Here's what I tried (based on the advice so far).

-restarted OS X
-started Frontier
-stopped the server
-ran "userland.portForward(80,8080)" (it asked for admin password; took a
second or two; returned 'true', which I guess means it went okay)
-started server
-checked "Server/Set Port" and it says "8080"

Control Panel works (on 127.0.0.1:8080) but still nothing else does. I can
create a Manila site, but I can't get to it.

But, going to 127.0.0.1 gives me the correct response based on the "default"
setting in config.mainResponder.domains. So, it looks like the webserver is
working and the port forwarding is working.

I triple-checked that my domain name->dynamic IP resolves correctly, and
I've tried using the IP address in the browser, too. I've checked the
FileMaker server on port 81, and it works fine, so the IP side of it seems
correct.

All this leads me to think that I'm having a repeat of whatever problem I
had previously with config.mainResponder.domains. I tried deleting all
domains except "default" but nothing changes in the behavior.

It seems crucial to me that 127.0.0.1 works but that the IP address doesn't.
But, I have no idea what that might mean.
