My router redirects port 80 to port 8080. My router works fine and my domain name is routed properly.
This is my virtual hosts file:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /home/admins/lampstack-5.3.16-0/apps/wordpress
    ServerName example.com
    ServerAlias www.example.com
</VirtualHost>
I can access my website by entering "mywebsite.com:8080" but I cannot access it by entering "mywebsite.com"
For further information, this is a part of my httpd.conf:
Listen 8080
Servername localhost:8080
DocumentRoot "/home/admins/lampstack-5.3.16-0/apache2/htdocs
<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Order deny, allow
    deny from all
</Directory>
<Directory "/home/admins/lampstack-5.3.16-0/apache2/htdocs">
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow, deny
    allow from all
</Directory>
