How to forward my server behind a router ?

Hello, I own Edimax BR-6204WLg router with it's own administration and i would like to know how can i make my external IP to point to my server and not to the administration panel of the router. I run an Apache with Mysql server and i've already added a domain in the router.How to forward my server behind a router ?
You have to port forward to the server within the routers setup pages. Port forwarding, tells inbound traffic, where its is to be directed for specific ';port'; requests, like http.



For apache here are the settings

to set port 80 and 443

for MySql http://www.portforward.com/english/route

port 3306



If it were mine I would set the Edimax to use port 8080 or 82 or 83 for its admin interface so I could still address the web interface once these settings are done.



Hope that helps
