How to forward port on windows azure cloud servers

Question

Hi, I just tried windows azure cloud servers.

downloaded and launched apache, it works on localhost, but cannot access from the Internet

should i transfer the redirection to do something special so that * .cloudapp.net can work as a web server

What am I missing?

Answer 1

what exactly have you tried? Azure virtual machine? The role of the azure worker? I assume that Azure Virtual Machine uses Linux since you are talking about Apache. You need to add TCP Endpoint on port 80 .

Answer 2

You only need to configure the endpoint to do this.

In your cerulean panel → Virtual machines → your_machine_name → Endpoints. You should see something like this:

Common port → 80 (if you want to serve your_ machine name .cloudapp.net)

Private port → (server listening port)

Answer 3

This has recently changed. Click All Resources, then select a network security group: Screenshot 1

Then click "Incoming Security Rules". Click Add. Click Add. Then fill in the data. For "Destination Port Range" you should put any Apache port, possibly 80. Example: Screenshot 2

Click "Good" and you will be fine!
