Q: Just upgraded server to El Capitan, can not get access to websites from internet

I just upgraded from Mountain Lion. Had a few glitches, but after a few clicks and changes the server is running.  I do have access to mail and FTP again, but I am not able to access my websites.  I am able to ping (i.e. altikost.no), but nothing via the web.  I suspect there is supposed to be a green light next to the sites in the websites server settings (see picture).

I have a few theories:

1)  After installing, I got this message:

Obsolete firewall running

This server is running a firewall set up by an earlier version of OS X Server. The obsolete firewall may interfere with the operation of Server services. For more information, please visit http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5413.

Could this have something to do with not beeing able to reach the sites?

 

2) I remember originally when I installed the ML server, I had to do something in terminal regarding apache or something...  is it possible something is not running that should be running?

 

3)  The DNS setup is different in the new server app.  I do not know how to set up the DNS and if there is anything I need to do there.  Perhaps something wrong here?  (see pictures of old and new settings)

Hope someone can help me, cause my wife is really starting to give me some grief because of the down-time....

Mac mini, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5), Server

    When I try: "apachectl configtest" in terminal, I get:

    httpd: Syntax error on line 527 of /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 8 of /private/etc/apache2/other/+php-osx.conf: Cannot load /usr/local/php5/libphp5.so into server: dlopen(/usr/local/php5/libphp5.so, 10): Symbol not found: _unixd_config\n  Referenced from: /usr/local/php5/libphp5.so\n  Expected in: /usr/sbin/httpd\n in /usr/local/php5/libphp5.so

     

    Has perhaps something to do with my problem?

    I got this. You can't update server until you update el capitan. and then DNS got clobbered so AppStore doesn't find server, Safari doesn't find internet etc. I just set DNS to Google 8.8.8.8, instead of server address, downloaded server, rebooted 207 times (a little hyperbole there) and Bob's your uncle.

    Well - this was a total disaster.  Got problems with php, apache and sql after upgrading.  Lost much of the DB in mysql and all e-mail for the last couple of years.  To much to fix, so I opted for the "easy" solution.  Set up a new clean install of El Capitan, set up php, apache and mysql, and did the manual labor of copying all relevant files, emails and databases, from my old server to the new.  Took me probably 15 hours, but everything is working perfectly right now (except one minor fact - not able to send e-mails from outside my private network - but that is a topic for a new thread).
