I forwarded ports and all http request to my server on the local lan (192.168.1.5). My dns got the static ip address from my isp, the website on whois is shown on my static ip from isp, created an index file for website but i still get the site.com/cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi with "Default web ....

Hello kukon,

The reason why you are having issues with your server is because you are running cPanel behind a NAT. NAT setups are NOT supported by cPanel. cPanel requires a publicly facing ip as stated in cPanel's system requirements.

However many users have had success with custom configurations to allow for NAT environments. I have compiled a list of helpful resources on NAT setups below.

Good Luck. I hope you're up and running soon. :)
