jwilh Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 What folder do you have your website in? You may have to try http://yourIp/htdocs , or whatever the folder may be....I know that is what I did when I had apache up for testing...

Vikas Jayna Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Will have to see the contents of the configuration file httpd.conf or .htaccess(if enabled) to figure this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckenschutze Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Usually, this has nothing to do with Apache...This problem often occurs when infact users are attempting to connect to your modem's ip, and not your computer, just check to see if this is the case...

Fr0z3nfl4m3s Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 This is most probably a problem with the ports opened on your router. What is happening is that the router doesnt know where to redirect the HTTP request to.Open port 80 (or whichever you apache is listening to) through your modem/router's control panel and redirect to your local IPHope it works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
