You are correct, and I am trying to use what brain I have left I am 62
years old and slowing down a bit these days, but I learn something new
everyday and more often it is from knowledgeable people like yourself.

The objective is to allow access from anywhere on the internet, the
intention is to have the website passworded for entry.
I guess this is sounding more like VPN server than just a webserver.

I am using this system with no problems it functions as a FTP server and
a Samba server already.
If I try http://192.168.1.222:80 ( the actual server IP)
I get the above (Forbidden) message.
What I don't get yet is why when I use this input it changes to the
/apache2-default/ directory.
I have tried to change the path to /var/www/mywebsite no matter what I
get the same response.
