Hey Guys,

I've been following this guide http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Host-Your-Own-Cloud-v20/

and I'm stuck in Step 4 currently. I have a Linksys E2500 router and I tried using this http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/

But it seems that all my ports are closed and I've tried a million different things and nothing. I can't externally access my publicIP:8080

I don't know what else I can try at this point.

Any help will be very much appreciated,

Thanks!-------

so, as a reference, as your guide is using ubuntu. are you on ubuntu if so, what version of ubuntu? 

----as a start prereq, this guide uses this:
The following list describes the major updates in this guide will cover this:

Software: Ubuntu Server 14.04 64-bit
Easier file transferring between server and client
Fixed many permission issues
Fixed some potential security issues
Developed automated scripts to backup data to the server from the client
Updated configuration steps for Apache2
For those who read my previous cloud guide, I included a software called Ampache, which allowed music to be streamed from the cloud. I will not be including this software configuration initially in this guide. Ampache is currently undergoing major changes and I do not want to write the configuration before the changes are complete.
Other minor fixes

as it may be that you haven't allowed the service/port through on ubuntu!:

https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/networking.html

set a static ip:

then ther are better guides, as such i recomed yousetup "LAMP" first, then go to that guide for turnign it into a cloud server:
