http://ip doesn't work, while https://ip does. What do?

Question

The title says it all, pretty much.

I've got a basic LAMP set up on my Pi.

My website works flawlessly when I use https:// + ip address.

When I just go to it normally (http:// + ip address) it yields:

This webpage is not available

ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

I have no idea what to do.

What is in your Apache config directories - specifically, how is your main website (the https:// + ip website) configured? — Phil B., Oct 21, 2015 at 2:30
@PhilB.As in what's in httpd.conf in /etc/apache2/conf.d? It's just ServerName localhost — RaspyBeggar, Oct 21, 2015 at 2:40
If you are using 8080 as the server port, you'll have to use http://123.456.789:8080 to connect. — goldilocks, Oct 21, 2015 at 2:42

Check if port 80 is blocked. Or, check if your server is even listening to port 80.

iptables -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT should do it for port 80 inputs.

I changed my portforwarding from 8080 to 80.

I also changed it to port 80 ports.confg

Ah, so the server was running on 80 but you were forwarding to 8080? This would explain why http://123.456.789:8080 did not work.

I'm confused - is this the solution to the problem? Or is this an update as to what has been done to troubleshoot? If the former - elaborate on the past setup and the new setup, so others can understand what works and didn't work. If the latter - this should be an edit to the question, or at least a comment to the original question.

Port forwarding on the same host - unless you're using something like SnortInline - is completely useless. It's not a guru-trick nowdays to just add all the IP+Port points to your config
