Default Install Redirect No Response
-
I have a default install of WordPress 4.8 that is performing a redirect with no response back to the web client, only to outside network addresses. Internal network addresses work fine.
Problem is believed to be isolated to the .htaccess file, under my default webroot directory /var/www/html. After a week of troubleshooting from forums, and 2 complete reinstalls of the full-LAMP-monty, I need help. Trace1 level messages were enabled in apache2.conf, and the “redirect without response” in the error.log file is shown below. Connection just times out. Outside connection is being tested with another client, (same local network), running a VPN.
The default “It works!” webpage can be accessed through the VPN, so this rules out the DNS provider, router, port-forwarding, and default Apache settings.

Your help would be super-terrific!

I think I may be onto something…
I’m port-forwarding TCP 65532 at my router to TCP 80 (default http) as to not screw up all the links, etc. Looking at the redirect from the client-side, using Firebug, I notice that after the redirect takes place the next Request URL (GET) is for http://68.10.66.13, the public IP but without the port number. However, the initial response from upstream DNS servers is http://68.10.66.13:65532, as it should be. (I have a URL Redirect configured for my domain at NameCheap.)
I think the Internal Redirect may NOT be accounting for the port number, which may be why my internal network hosts can render the WordPress site just fine, while outside networks cannot. My internal hosts don’t have to worry about port forwarding…
I’m just unsure how to fix it now. Probably with the .htaccess file?
