Port 80 certainly should work, so it is probably best to try to solve
that problem .. especially since Virtualmin cannot yet convert a server
from private IP back to shared.

What exact error message are you getting when you try the port 80 URL?
Or is it just displaying the wrong website? Also, what does the
<Virtualhost> section header look like?
