Resource Not Found?

[Gldnbr]

I'm trying to show my friend my website and it's not letting him or me view it.

 

I am using my own IP-address. (dashed out for security, but it is correct)

http://--.---.--.---/index-1.php

When he and I type this into our browser, we can an error called "Resource Not Found".

 

But, when I use localhost address, it works fine.

http://localhost/index-1.php

 

Does anyone know what is wrong?

Do I need to open a specific port?

 

USING XAMPP.

I do not think that your IP address and localhost point to the same place?? Are you trying to show your mate who is on another computer connected to a different network?

If so, you've got no chance without uploading it to a web server, or configuring your computer to be a web server itself, which is a real pain in the a$$.

Yes, he is from another city using another network.

 

I thought XAMPP would do the work, just need to run Apache and MySQL?

I mean, it worked for me when I used localhost, there has to be some way to open the ports or something to allow him in it.

I opened 80 and 8080, but he still can't get in.

I really wouldn't go opening ports on your computer buddy.. Just sign up to a free web host and post it on there for him to see..
